Millions of Men Are Missing from the Job Market

Please don't read into this post and the questions any more deeply than the surface, I do not have any intended judgement nor intend to imply anything. I'm trying to understand your post: I got your situation, but I'm missing the bigger points you are making.

> How on earth do you want people like me begging for a job? It makes no sense.

What do you mean with "people like you"? What is your problem? I'm taking the first paragraph to mean depress or some related disorder, but then you have

> In some meeting with other people with disabilities, I suggested that there should be companies whose job is to match candidates with companies directly, so that candidates do not have to move sky and earth to find a job. I think it's not even a problem of investment and risk taking, it's just that there is nothing to build or to make, except software and robots, which require education, which is always money-constrained, unsurprisingly. Either that or people don't want to work anymore, and it's fine, because work is less and less necessary.

Do you mean this would be a more systematic issue due to changes in labor requirements? Or that we currently have a shitty situation in job finding?

I'm the archetype loser.

I think companies don't care about the candidate they are looking for. Of course it's a market, but it's not well "regulated". Nobody really knows who is available for what, and due to that, companies can't really hire properly. If there were an actual database of candidates, and if there were better profiling, and less job websites, maybe things would be much smoother. The job market is a complete anarchy. I would be glad to give $500 to a company so that this company can find me a good job that I will keep for 6 months. That would be an awesome investment. Yet this doesn't seem to exist for some reason.

Linkedin seems a good enough database of candidates, with the number of offer I receive every month. But you need some keyword plus completed projects/employments

Then they would have to find you a job. I mean no offense, but there is no job that exists for someone who is 31 and held a job for no longer than a month.
