That's good to hear.  My work took a 20% hit in federal funding this year and to keep things to policy they post job positions but can not find, nationwide, one single qualified candidate.  

 Medical providers that normally would have to retire at 57 get age waivers to continue working with the government but the age waivers will not be renewed next year.  This means the job exists, its not cut, but no one will be performing it.

 So there's no job cuts, the jobs are still there but unfortunately there's no qualified people in the world that can work them now.  On my side its contracting, on the medical providers side its direct government employment.  

 Its that they are not accepting qualified candidates in order to save money.  In my case we have 20% cut in funds, but we are to run fully staffed?  Impossible, but on paper the jobs still exist, no job cuts, just no people placed into those positions to do the job.

 If 400 medical staff lose age waivers is it reasonable to assume that those are the only 400 people worldwide that can do that job?  There's hundreds of thousands of applicants globally but no one "qualified" to do the jobs now.

That is surely part of it.
When schools, like the government itself, are tasked for doing more than it was originally intended, something has got to give....
School was suppose to turn out young adults with the ability to provide for themselves.
Heck, we even had trade schools, that taught the students a viable trade if they didn’t proceed on to a higher learner occupation.
It sort of doves with the government having to cover the failings of education, when society loses the opportunity to “school”
at those pliable and formative years....
Instead of independents, we have taught dependency.

Boeing highers a great number of folks from other countries and cultures.
These folks, for the most part, out perform those born here.
It’s not even close......
Is it true elsewhere....???
I don’t know, but I have seen this firsthand, so I know it’s part of the equation.

Oh, and this little detail:
