In the eyes of the president and many corporate leaders, the crux of the problem is skills — the proposition that employers are eager to fill millions of good-paying jobs that workers lack the skills to perform.

Despite the belief of some, however, there is little evidence that the economy is suffering from an unusually large skills gap.

While economic indicators do show a historically high number of job vacancies, as Mr. Acosta pointed out, research economists tend to believe that the skills gap accounts for, at most, a limited portion of this development. Many experts believe it plays almost no role at all.

There may be a massive skills gap among employers and unfortunately they played the president and the Department of Labor on national TV this past week.

They want and are told to believe the jobs market/economy/capitalism in general is an efficient system, so anytime someone gets screwed over by it they have to convince themselves it's actually that person's fault.
