I have a $100k job posted that I got 10 resumes for. I had to keep it open for 3 months to get 10 resumes. Another $75k job was posted by my org, got 3 resumes. I’ve been hiring people for 15+ years and I normally get 20-50 applicants for jobs at various levels (very specialized field). Something is wrong.

One big reason is that city mayors and councils are putting big pressure on companies to bring the workers back. Building leasings can come up and a lot of companies are like "Why do I need giant office space in the city when my workers are remote?"
It hits the restaurants, all the services that cater to the office workers, the transportation (trains, toll rolls ect) and it hits the state and city taxes hard when workers don't come to the office.
So there is big pressure to bring them back.
