A small business that I'm a partner in in Wichita was recently filling an entry level position that traditionally turns over about every six months at $10 an hour. They only have one position like this so I suggested offering $15 and maybe we get a large pool of applicants and land a good long term employee and less headaches in the long run. They obviously received more applicants, some 45-55 year olds, some 18-25s, overall a nice group probably 15 applied in a week. They didn't get any minority apps, the managing partner is black, the business is established with a good reputation. How can this happen?
Serious question, this is very odd considering the unemployment numbers.
