No Jobs for 3 out of 4 Job Seekers

That's what this chart from the Economic Policy Institute says:


In June there were 4.5 unemployed workers for every job opening. In the prehistoric days of 2000, there was 1.1 unemployed worker for every job opening. The highest ratio in the 21st century before the Great Recession was 2.8. We are in really deep water. Why can't our leaders see that and start doing something about it?
