You only have the illusion of choice, as evidenced by the "booming economy" which just actually means being extra effective at funneling all economic output straight to the top.
This doesn't match the reality of the number of job moves and open positions.
Open positions =/= open positions that pay a livable wage.
Except having more open positions than people directly translates into higher wages, so even this broad nothing of a statement is still incorrect.
Unless the "open positions" are only open on paper, and the company has no real desire to fill them...
They're not. That's a fiction. A meme-tier fiction at that.
