When companies post ghost jobs, it is to pretend everything is going peachy, instill desperation and exhaustion in workers to hide their own desperation. Then they wonder why it's so hard to find someone new when the employee they counted on but didn't pay appropriately leaves.

That is one reason another is one my company does often. See in most cases you get hired as a contractor, so no pto no benefits no holiday pay etc. So let's say a manager has a contractor who is really good and they want to make them a permanent employee. First they have to convince upper management that the manager deserves a full time employee. Now they have to create a job offer, open to all internal and external applicants. They need to collect/sort resumes, they then select a series of people to interview. Now in 99% of cases the recipient is already choosen and the interviews don't matter but they have to put on a show. Then the manager has to explain why the other applicants are worse and the employee who is still a contractor actually deserves the permanent position. Then only then will the contractor be offered a employee position.

Also we must keep 20% of all the workforce at each site as contractors. So full time positions only appear when either a bunch of contractors are hired or employees quit either of which throws off the ratio. We have lost many great employees due to this policy.

Ghost jobs artificially increase thr job supply, contractor agencies just take an extra cut and also appear to increase the job supply.

All this exarcebates the problem for employers as a group and could even discourage employees from seeking work, decreasing the supply further.

The only "hope" of employers is to keep employee in the fearful boomer labour oversupply mindset. Like a horse tied to an empty bucket that doesn't even try to pull on his leash.

Any employer or industry that wants to survive. Would do well to switch from a shareholder model to a cooperative+union model as capital becomes worthless all the value will be held by people doing the actual work.
