If only there was a solution.

Is it possible that jobs with salaries of $58,000pa are quite specialised and don't put signs outside their businesses, since their ideal candidate probably doesn't walk past their door, whereas low entry requirement jobs do have a benefit in advertising in this way...

Obviously "I went out and surveyed my town..." is quite vague, but if the poster literally walked about outside and looked in shop windows then the result is probably completely what you'd expect from the difference in advertising methods.

This lol. I have a feeling more specialized jobs and workplaces that are offering to pay more also have standards to uphold. Posting that they are hiring signs aren’t very good indicators of them compared to possible clients.

Yeah, we have a lot of high 5 figure, low 6 figure positions that we can't fill right now. Wages is one thing, finding people with the right qualifications is another especially in a time where my industry is rapidly rebounding from the pandemic yet the labor market is not (a lot of early retirements and career changes in 2020).

That’s not the point. I’m currently job hunting and am a specialist. Headhunters are even having a hard time finding me positions. Good paying jobs for specialized roles are not easy to find right now. We used to compete with a local population pool but thanks to WFH we’re now competing globally.
