- just 11 clowns out of 14 who were selected from 531 applicants
Is there really a shortage? Or are employers demanding higher quality than the market supplies?
I think this is becoming endemic in many industries. Employers say "we can't find enough workers," while demanding ability far in excess of what the market can supply. The market can supply the workers they need, just not at the level they demand.
I wonder if it's caused by globlisation, or something else. But I definitely think it's happening, in more and more industries. It breaks Capitalism, and it exacerbates our already broken economy.
