- puts a checkmark beside your name because you missed the interview
no you see they're not part of "the poors".
Will that include the legislators that sleep or don't show up to work/votes?
Somewhere between 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 jobs aren't real.
The disagreeing congressmembers should just tack on that if people are put in lists because they are required to show up to interviews that all interviews must be paid, and any any job found to be fake or misrepresenting a job lead that does not exist should have to pay each person who applied a fine of $100,000 and up to 1 year in prison like the law is for pirating a movie. Watching a digital copy of a movie that doesn't exist is surely not worse than dangling people's means of survival on a stick and trying to make money off their misfortunes.
Thus every job posted will be required to be in one registry and proof that it has been filled. Jobs must be reported on the site for no more than 3 months and to remove it must have a 50% of the posting times notice. Each role must be listed separately if there is more than one position. Any company found to have hired someone without posting to the job registry will be fined no less than 5% of the companies value to their local communities food shelters, and have their business license removed and company dissolved of all assets and given to the local community/shelters if 2 infractions are had within 365 days.
If people are having to apply for 200 jobs and it is common that all 200 of those applications fall through then we should be enforcing practices on businesses to take hiring more seriously, if they want people to take their posting more seriously.
StandoutCV stated in their research "Based on these findings, we can deduce that the average person has to make 162 job applications to land a job."
Frankly that's rediculous to assume people should be able to track 162 different job applications and ensure they keep up with every appointment, while remembering 32-54 of those jobs turn out to be fake in the first place.
This would be to ensure professionalism, as they say is the reason for their bill.
Maybe also post who the job goes to. Would be very interesting to see some of those jobs going to H1B Visa holders when there are "no qualified Americans to do the job" after interviewing and turning down multiple Americans.
The fact is, though, that republicans believe companies are people and people... aren't.
It would force all employees to hire legally yes. And give immediate grounds for ice to punish employers who are not hiring legally.
Unfortunately it wouldn't. There are ways to "legally" hire an illegal today and lots of companies take advantage of it, especially in agriculture and other seasonal work. EI9 reporting has loop holes that politicians aren't interested in closing.
Somewhere between 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 jobs aren't real.
Those are rookie numbers, suppressed by the lack of ghost jobs in blue-collar industries.
In tech, ghost jobs make up an average of about 60% across all tranches.
That’s just shy of ⅔ of all job postings. And this is a conservative estimate.
Sure. But only if there's also a registry of all employment denials that includes the reason for denial and whether they bothered to even tell the applicant.
Ohio not beating the allegations
Literally the worst state
Florida and Texas would like a word. Also, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Ohio and Florida are definitely the most ruined potential states
Idaho is trying so hard but just can't keep up!

How about cops who beat people first.
The registry is to identify people who need extra help with transport or child care so we can target additional resources to help them get hired, right? Right? RIGHT?
“The bill rewards professionalism. If you value employers’ time, this process is going to value you,” Lorenz said. “And it just modernizes the employment process and it holds applicants accountable and it helps employers thrive.”
What a load of horse shit. They're trying to create a blacklist registry so that less people get benefits.
Ohio is an at-will employment state. That means your employer can fire you without notice and you can quit without prior notice as well. I have done this due to a furlough and they were not happy, but I didn't want to go through bad financial times again.
Things happen and people miss appointments. You'll forget about appointments and not go simply due to forgetfulness. My wife forgets about appointments from time to time and so do I.
A step towards a social credit system.
How about a registry for policemen? Or one for politicians getting "donations" from commercial sponsors? This information needs to be made public.
Its a red state so they don't have a registry of guns.
Use this information however you will 😏
Some top notch wasting of public taxes.
Funny kind of law to make when the US jobs report for the last month is less than that of Canada's jobs report by ~10,000 jobs.
