It's hard for employers to find good employees?

On average, everyone agrees with nonconsensus between 275 voters.

Reasons To Disagree

Employes want the best qualified person they can get, at the lowest cost. If they cannot get someone at the price they want they complain about skill shortages.

The major problem with employers is that they go for the people with qualifications. What about those without the qualifications but are more experienced?

We used to train people now we pay it through taxation to educate them to do the same.

Reasons To Agree

Reward employers that take on trainees by lowering the company tax rate for those who take on apprentices might be a good solution. Then the problem will solve itself

It seems we still have far too many untrained people who fail to take advantage of training schemes. But reinstatement of apprenticeships is long overdue.

Most "big" employers are in fact employees themselves, hiring people who make good sycophants, and very average employees.

That's why gummint kep the screws on them to make sure it's hard to fire loafers, unsuitables, ratbags and surplusd staff.

There is a currently a skill shortage. However there is also a mismatch in expectations from employers and employees. Employers want to pay as little as possible, and have employees work long hard and loyally. Employees are demanding work life balance and high wages and some employees are not prepared to be dependable and hard working

They need to be more accepting of more people around.
