Yes but there are a certain amount of people who either are not willing to work or alternatively for various reasons are unemployable. This could be because they are of ill health, general dossers, criminals etc.The unemployment rate has fallen from 16% to 5%, according to official figures. The notion that there are less and less people prepared to work is pure fiction.

Those of different levels of ill health might be able to do part time if able. I am familiar with a few cases where people suffering from depression were able to do 15/20 hours a week but it would be too much to put heavy demands on them. It is unrealistic to expect any employer to take on criminals ezpecially those with convictions for theft or violence

even if you are only working a few hours a week you are classed as employed and not included in the statistic for unemployed even though you are not paying tax and still dependant on the welfare system. That is why the unemployment rate is now a virtually useless statistic and has been manipulated lower than the reality.

its here , alot of other interesting facts here aswell.
As a person who laboured on building sites in the UK back in the day, Labourers were never paid enough and were always seen as lesser beings and paid accordingly. There is very little to be said in favour of hard servile work, digging foundations, mixing cement, dragging building bricks, hauling sand, lifting scaffold items, being covered head-to-toe with dried mortar. Try it sometime, then put yourself in a Labourer's position not just all day or all week, but all year every year. Believe me, you'll be glad to pay a Labourer.
The only thing I can say in favour of labouring is you have the earliest suntan, the earliest funeral and years of pain.

Maybe it's another case of Millennial bashing, or whatever this generation are labelled as.
Newsflash! Those days are gone and to those of us who did all of the above on a fulltime basis Good Riddance to such toil!
...our trenches dug by labourers for a cheap as we can find. They should be happy to work for almost nothing. Sure, all they can do is dig and use a pick-axe.
I can inform you digging holes for wooden support posts is not easy and to be honest, I wouldn't expect anybody else to do ours.
Back to the OP, it's harder to get people to do most jobs these days. It's taking us a lot longer to fill highly paid IT roles at the moment, the volumes of candidates is way down and for some roles, 50%+ of applicants are coming from abroad.
If not, then its hard to know what this comment has to do with the OP.
If you read the first sentence, there's a clue in there.

This is opening sentence. You have broadened the terms, fair enough. So my questions to you apply.
Are highly paid IT roles not being filled because prospective candidates are opting not to work but instead falling back on welfare? Are highly paid IT roles physically demanding jobs?
