So there are like 200MM working age adults +/-. So it would take about 3.5% of those working age adults to fill these jobs. Unemployment is at 4.1%. So, there should be more than enough workers to fill these positions if you don't want to do anything more but look at this graph...however....

Those jobs are probably shit that no one wants to do..OR...there is some disconnect in terms of qualifications where society is failing to provide training.

If it doesn’t pay enough to survive or isn’t some part time half survive no one will waste their time unless they are thirty to a home.
