The US still has a serious jobs problem

We have over 3,000,000 unfilled, high-paying jobs RIGHT NOW.  But we don't have people with the skills to fill them.  In part, it's the fault of businesses who don't want to train employees.  But the biggest problem is that our education system, in the hands of politicians and educational leaders looking to make themselves look good by playing statistical tricks, pushed one lame plan after another, culminating in the abominable "No Child Left Behind" - better called "No Child Gets Ahead."
We pay up to $500,000 per year per person to house severely disabled Special Education children in boarding schools.  We don't spend a cent of the kids most likely to find a cure for cancer one day.  We hire extra math teachers so math-weak kids can "catch up" to a still low level.  But we spend virtually no money to make  sure our able kids have marketable job skills.  There's a severe shortage to trained auto repair mechanics and carpenters right now: but our schools can't brag unless more kids go to college: so vo-tech is out.  Our colleges graduate huge numbers in majors like psychology and phys. ed even though there are 5-20 grads for every available position available.  Meanwhile, math-oriented areas go short of graduates.  And our high schools don't hire that extra math teacher to make sure enough kids can handle accounting, chemistry, engineering and similar majors: it doesn't make the superintendents look better, so they screw them.

Not all JOBS which are advertised are being filled. Some employers are advertising and then NOT hiring anyone. Some jobs now require applicants to be multilingual - Spanish and Mandarin.
Some jobs positions which used to be able to be filled by people with job experience are requiring higher education degrees - for example, they want Sales people who have Engineering degrees and degrees in Business management, regardless of many years of experience....and they're paying about HALF of what they used to pay
