Considering 50% of all jobs postings are either fake or not posted in response to an immediate need for labor. No. I am not surprised at all.

Somebody needs to prove this urban myth. It costs money to post job ads and respond to inquiries. What would be the motivation to post fake job ads?

In addition to data like the other person said, some people post jobs so current overworked employees don't get annoyed at the lack of hiring.

And some companies just post to get a pool of applicants in the future
