    This is a great law. Hopefully they enforce it heavily and with fines as large as humanly possible. Because it’s Fast Company, they have to include the pro-business side of things and make it...

    Because it’s Fast Company, they have to include the pro-business side of things and make it sound like it really isn’t a problem…

    Many ghost jobs are the result of poor oversight, such as when a third-party platform posts a job that is no longer open, or does not take it down in time.

    Okay, where’s the proof of that? That’s just speculating. That’s followed immediately by:

    A recent analysis of over 175,000 job listings revealed that about one in seven jobs was active for more than 30 days, at which point a company may no longer be reviewing applications.

    That’s just an unrelated stat. It doesn’t backup the claim at all. There’s no causal link or anything.
