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.
