And everyone thought registries were only for sex offenders. If it works to punish them then why not on those who don’t want to work?

    The registry is to identify people who need extra help with transport or child care so we can target additional resources to help them get hired, right? Right? RIGHT?

    Somewhere between 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 jobs aren’t real.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelwells/2024/08/13/36-of-job-adverts-are-fake-how-to-spot-them-in-2024/

    The disagreeing congressmembers should just tack on that if people are put in lists because they are required to show up to interviews that all interviews must be paid, and any any job found to be fake or misrepresenting a job lead that does not exist should have to pay each person who applied a fine of $100,000 and up to 1 year in prison like the law is for pirating a movie. Watching a digital copy of a movie that doesn’t exist is surely not worse than dangling people’s means of survival on a stick and trying to make money off their misfortunes.

    Thus every job posted will be required to be in one registry and proof that it has been filled. Jobs must be reported on the site for no more than 3 months and to remove it must have a 50% of the posting times notice. Each role must be listed separately if there is more than one position. Any company found to have hired someone without posting to the job registry will be fined no less than 5% of the companies value to their local communities food shelters, and have their business license removed and company dissolved of all assets and given to the local community/shelters if 2 infractions are had within 365 days.

    If people are having to apply for 200 jobs and it is common that all 200 of those applications fall through then we should be enforcing practices on businesses to take hiring more seriously, if they want people to take their posting more seriously.

    StandoutCV stated in their research “Based on these findings, we can deduce that the average person has to make 162 job applications to land a job.”

    Frankly that’s rediculous to assume people should be able to track 162 different job applications and ensure they keep up with every appointment, while remembering 32-54 of those jobs turn out to be fake in the first place.

    This would be to ensure professionalism, as they say is the reason for their bill.

    Does the bill create a registry of employers who come to interviews they schedule unprepared?

    Does the bill create a registry of employers who have jobs listed that they aren’t actively hiring for wasting applicants time?

    Does the bill create a requirement to post the hiring wage range so as not to waste everyone’s time?

    Unilateralism is fascism.

      How about interviewers who ghost applicants? I have literally been sat in an office for an hour and a half, with nobody telling me what’s going on before I got told “oh that interviewer isn’t in today, I’m not sure why he scheduled you.”

        I had one that “got pulled into a meeting”. Um, she had a meeting, with me!

        I was eventually offered the job two or three weeks later, which I declined. In that time I had accepted a position with a company that had their shit together. This one had the nerve to ask “When were you going to tell us?” after ghosting me for weeks! I said, “I just did.”.

      This would make a great website. Match job listings with this type of data. Get all job applicants on there and then set strict criteria for companies to post jobs on there. Enshitify the entire process for the companies and make them beg to have their ads shown.

      Well, that would just be impractical, right??? I mean what purpose could there be in a register of people with the actual weapons, constitutionally-protected or not, that are most often used to murder dozens of people in a single sitting?

      Next you’ll be wanting to use that registry to make sure that certifiable crazy people can’t get a modified semi-automatic rifle and possibly attempt to keep people safe. What use could that bring?!?

    Wouldn’t this be super exploitable? What’s to stop me from setting up a bot that auto-applies to tons of jobs on behalf of people I don’t like, thus making them “skip” whatever interviews come out of that?

      Amazing how many Ohio state reps are looking for work right now, but not showing up to any interviews…

      I’m going to stop you. For like 5 minutes so you can throw the program in a zip file and share it with me. Thanks

    How about a registry for policemen? Or one for politicians getting “donations” from commercial sponsors? This information needs to be made public.
