Why is there an acute shortage of skilled jobs in America?

People looking for Jobs vs Jobs Available, shows horrifying statistics. There are not that many jobs left for people to apply. Which makes job market extremely scarce. And for every 1 job, there are at least 7 to 8 applicants.
And you have to be super-human to get an ordinary job only — i.e. 3.8 GPA with straight A’s in all university courses. And even then you are declined job.
What happens to others like me, who have no more education then a bachelor degree in mathematics? This drives people to go into loan defaults and unpaid bills which lead to more economic crisis. Consumer bankruptcies go higher and higher (already more than 1 million chapter 7 bankruptcies filed this year).
The credit report is looked at more, than the person’s skill or qualifications. Credit reports are given importance of God, which makes matters only worse. A lot of problems of the job market are also linked to the heavy emphasis given to credit reports, which have no connection to the applicant’s work ability or skill.
Yet people say unemployment is only 10% so thats low. But if you lose your job or are looking for work, you will realize how extremely tough it is to find work.
i live in michigan and i gave up looking for work several months back.
