A man from Fort Myers, Florida, named Joey Holz, went viral last week for an experiment he conducted after seeing many “now hiring” signs around Lee County.

In a country in the middle of the “Great Resignation”, Holz thought it might be easy to pick up a job and show the data for how much employers were hiring.

After applying for 60 jobs, he only got an interview request from 1 employer.
The method for the experiment was simple. He would apply to 2 jobs every day, for 30 days, and then record the responses that he received from the employers he applied to.


Holz recalled his first conversation with someone about the labor shortage going on in the country when he called to donate convalescent plasma at a clinic near Fort Myers, Florida last year.

"The guy went on this rant about how he can't find help and he can't keep anybody in his medical facility because they all quit over the stimulus checks," Holz told Insider. "And I'm like, 'Your medical professionals quit over $1,200 checks? That's weird.'"
