> I have no sympathies for companies that turn down highly qualified intelligent workers by the truckload. There are so many people with MBAs who, for years struggle to get any kind of job at all.
An "MBA" doesn't make you "highly qualified". People (especially those with an MBA) should realize that it's about supply and demand: There's too many MBAs and too few jobs where just an MBA makes you a good candidate.
Companies are never complaining about finding workers, they are complaining about finding workers at the right price. For obvious reasons, they don't phrase it that way though.
> My theory is, a lot of these so called job openings are for jobs that aren't really needed.
At least they're not desperately needed. I assume you have a computer. I also assume you'll replace it at some point. As long as the old one is still working or you have a spare, you could you delay that purchase for months, even years. In the meantime, you can just go window shopping.
