    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.

They tend to say things like, "We can't find enough workers that can write well enough to do their jobs," or, "We can't find enough workers that know how to think well enough to operate independently in a work environment."

So what they're saying has to do with our education system and is valid, depending on your point of view.
