A Good Idea for the US Job Market

One of the beautiful things about the US job market is that it is a free economy. However, this freedom also had made it somewhat more complex to find the right job. Communist regimes often have been able to simply provide someone with a home and a job on the spot, quickly and easily, regardless of the negative aspects people dislike of those style of markets. Our free economy deserves the same. Every person deserves to have a home and a job.

To make the process easier, I think it would be worthwhile to have a universal job application for every job candidate. All of the hiring employers already register with the government. They should have a single website that is used for all hiring purposes, one application with a resume, and take away the whole cover letter system requirement. Any kind of special hiring methods or questions can just be asked at the first interview. That way people don’t waste time when there is no chance of being hired.. They could connect this website to a “hiring center,” that connects directly to real jobs.

The categories for this website could include “high  need” hiring for labor shortages, “high need and will train,” “non high need,” and “non high need will train.”

Overall, the application process has to be as easy as possible, but in addition this will connect people to employers that are hard to find or that they didn’t know existed.

By using just one application, job applicants never have to fill out multiple applications and search for employers ever again. They will all be on this one website. It could be a requirement that they are posted here, if they were going to post it somewhere.

Moderators could filter out all scams. People could relocate for jobs that are needed in other areas of the country more easily, because they would know for certain if the job was there or not before going.

Ideally, it could reach the point where everyone could walk into a hiring center and get a job or start training immediately, without even having to apply to multiple places, if they just describe the type of work they want. Their standard of living should be covered while they train, by the government if the employer can’t afford it.

Of course, this is just a suggestion, but I think the previous paragraph would bring relief to a lot of employers and employees.
