same thing holds true where my parents live, which is on the complete opposite side of the country so

i'm inclined to believe this is a fairly universal thing

Re: UNPOPULAR DWRP OPINIONS

Not universal.

I live in Europe and there are constantly 200-500 applicants trying to get a job as a cashier or stocking shelves in supermarket, or any other low-paid job.

Last March it was in the news that 800 (!) people had applied for one single job to be a cashier at a movie theatre. There was a 4-stage recruitment process to weed out the "absolute best" candidate. It was a part-time job that pays 10-12 euros/hour.

Companies don't need 'hiring' signs on a window because they can get hundreds of applications just by posting an ad online.

This. And a lot of those places are not actually hiring. The place I work now has had a sign out front for months saying they are hiring....when the truth is that in a few months, they're planning on transferring 20+ employees to another facility in another town completely...so be prepared to move if you want to keep your job.

Those signs can also just be total bullshit to keep the employees happy thinking that they will be getting help eventually or it’s code for “we have an internal person already in mind for this position but must post the job publicly as a requirement”.
