Employers aren't going to realize that because they want to off load their training costs to colleges. Most students now attend college for job training degrees (which should just be in their own vocational/tech school) and still graduate with debt. Oh and all those students that graduate with practical job degrees still have to compete with foreign visa holders or immigrants. It's an utter rat race.

Yep, this is it right here. High school and college used to be preparatory, and employers did job training. Employers thought they could stop doing job training, so really, they have only themselves to blame.

Well when the population for decades has been hammered with “People who go to college statistically make more money” (even though people fail to realize it’s a correlation not a causation. Rich kids with well connected parents go to college.) so everyone just goes to college then you as an employer just have to wait for them. The overachievers don’t apply for jobs they go to college because that’s what they think they should do. So the companies wait and look for those.
