What The Rise Of Fake Job Listings Says About The Job Market (youtube.com)
Some employers are doing it because they don't know what the salary/compensation should be, so they're doing kind of research, asking applicants what they expect.
Some are doing it to push down wage expectations for employees, because they can show they have applicant options.
JOLTS maybe isn't affected by this, because JOLTS reporting is for jobs the company can fill in 30 days possibly.
Companies don't like to admit they're posting ghost jobs, so they're hard to spot.
Job seekers might start to do the same thing. Look for jobs the entire time they're working, and having lots of recruitment contacts.

Asian students are up a significant percentage in US colleges, while black and hispanic are significantly down, as a result of the recent move towards meritocracy and away from inclusion. Whites (but that category often includes people who some might not think of as white, so take it as you will) still make up the same amount, a bit under 40% of students. I think people will come to realize inclusion is better on this issue. The problem before was that we weren't honest about what we were doing. We can just say we want to live in a country where we have inclusion, and where we educate people of different races and have college educated people of all races, and not all perform the same on tests but that's less important. It's only a small percentage, and while it means some higher-scoring well-deserving asians and maybe other races won't get the education access, it means some well-deserving but lower scoring blacks and hispanics will.
For one, who cares about test scores anyway? Show me they predict a person you want to know or an important social figure.
You're better off getting a top 10% student of a non-Ivy versus a top 50% at an Ivy, said Malcolm Gladwell, according to Chamath. They've performed.
Asians are now almost 50% of new students. Even before they were slightly higher than whites.
I'd guess America will become more asian-run. More or perhaps mostly Asian governed, managed, etc. Like in recent years we've seen a high representation of asians (South Asians maybe more in Europe/UK, and parts of Canada, East Asian in other parts of Canada). That culture likes non-manual labor. South Asians are a culture accustomed to interacting with other people, taking on roles where some people are responsible for providing for others and they get prestige and position benefits. Whites in Canada anyway are not really like that. I'm not sure which is better to have in government positions, but the two broad cultures definitely favor more asians getting governing roles.
