There are many situations where employers are not interested in skills, they’re just looking to fill a position with the cheapest (licensed) person. There’s very little ROI in upgrading your skills in this situation.

I think we're saying the same thing. If that's what employers do then employees can't compete on skill.

Agreed, just wanted to stress the point that it is often not even an option for a potential employee to try and compete on skills.
