By Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs The skills gap is reported as being a top concern for employers, but there may be more there than meets the eye. While nearly half of all employers report having a difficult time hiring employees to fill positions, many don't discuss the hidden reasons behind the difficulty of hiring.
