Personally, my theory is that the advent of “hiring algorithms” caused this. The widespread use of AI for weeding out candidates has gone way too far. These softwares are purging resumes of perfectly qualified candidates without the human hiring managers ever knowing about it.
That’s why every company right now is bitching that they can’t find anyone to hire while every unemployed person I know saying that jobs are impossible to get.
Anecdotally, that’s also why you get ghosted by companies instead of rejected. They have no idea you ever applied.

The “no one wants to work” mantra is just simply a strategy to feed into conservative talking points on a wide variety of work policy issues. It’s just simply bullshit; somewhere there’s a meme that shows people using that quote for the last century and a half in American newspapers.

I always complete that phrase for them when I hear it. "...under those conditions and for that pay."

I usually say “I never wanted to work. You literally have to pay me to show up.”
