    Job applicants are the girls on tinder. Many options and the choices are mutually exclusive.

    Employers are the guys on tinder. More of them than girls and some of them will not get girls (filled positions).

    The girl has her choice of guys, and can select for a higher standard. So can employees.

    Really not complicated. Basic supply and demand.

      No. Sorry.

      Either you are trolling, or you are simply extremely thoughtless in forming your beliefs.

      You reveal a complete lack of understanding of social structure.

      You have rifled through a handful a variations of the same general theme, attempting to argue, or perhaps attempting to avoid arguing, that employers have less bargaining power than employees.

      The employment relationship is not a relationship of mutuality or parity between the two participating parties, employer and employee.

      A business is a social structure, which is completely different from an individual worker. Meanwhile, the billionaires who own businesses, and through them accumulate private wealth, have no shared interests with their workers.

      Each business may expand to employ arbitrarily many workers, but workers have only limited time to sell.

      Businesses control the entirety of resources in society that the population requires to survive. They profit from the labor of workers, who sell their labor to earn the right to live.

      The number of job openings is not related to the bargaining power of employees.

      It cannot be overstated that your comparison to romantic partnership is so utterly absurd.
