That's the word from Help Wanted, a new joint report from the National Center for the Middle Market (NCMM) and Brookings Institution. In particular, companies struggle with a low number of applications, a lack of candidates who possess the right kinds of skills, limited work experience among those who do apply, and high salary demands among skilled candidates.
