Reverse-auctions for jobs?

| | Comments (0)

Things have gotten really bad in Germany -- unemployment is at its highest point since pre-WWII, and the cost to the society and nation is staggering. One particularly smart way to address this problem has been Jobdumping.de -- premise: bidders bid in a race to the bottom for jobs on offer.

This is such a stark contrast to what we're facing in Malaysia with unemployment among graduates.

Germany: No jobs, but people are willing to work for peanuts.

Malaysia: Lots of jobs, but graduates are being choosy (besides the fact that some are just simply "un-employable" due to a lack of soft skills).
