Job shortage or diversity shortage?
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
I know several experienced oilfield workers looking for work, who are told they aren’t qualified, while you hear about a shortage of workers
All are middle-aged or older white males - one guy told me a recruiter told him unless he could change his gender or ethnicity to quit applying - but the narrative is “not enough workers”
Can anyone confirm if this is a diversity issue?
I had one friend in their 20s be told about 2 years avo they can’t be hired because they weren’t black. Fast forward and that company is currently getting sued.
It probably is due to lack of “diversity”.
