A RWer told me he had problems getting employees ... he said "People don't want to work!"

41. In most cases, there can be a few factors at work

The employer might be too picky. They might be demanding skills, experience, and education that are actually not necessary to the job. They might be excluding people who they deem unemployable including people with a record or who have been out of work.
They might be paying too little. In most cases, below average for work in the area is too little. I know that someone has to be below average, but all the decent employees will apply to the better paying establishments first. If the unemployment rate is low, they will only get uninformed applicants or people who choose to apply there for other reasons.
The employer might have a reputation as a terrible place to work. Sometimes this is inherent in the work. Many people wouldn't kill chickens for $9/hour even if they would be willing to work as a cashier for the same amount. Sometimes it is because management treats people poorly.
If all three factors are at play, there is a possibility that even with high unemployment that an employer will be unable to find many workers. All the applicants that they would be willing to hire would not apply because of the poor pay and working conditions. The few that do will probably be quitting as soon as they get hired for something better. Having many workers that do this is a sure sign that an employer does not pay enough or is a horrible place to work. Places that pay well and are good places to work have low turnover.
