    Just brainstorming here, but I wonder if one could build a market around betting on the success (but never the failure) of the hard-to-employ. Let's say I know a recovering addict who would be a good worker but employers disagree. . .

        Could I buy a surety bond payable to the employer in the event the employee doesn't work out, but get a headhunter fee after a year if things go well? In a tight labor market, this arrangement would allow anyone to champion a hard-to-employ person they have personally observed...

        and trust. Like any other kind of investment, you'd want to have an easy way to diversify risk. So instead of betting on any one hard-to-employ person, perhaps there would be curated groups as well.

        The whole thing could be managed through an app. One can also imagine part of the investment strategy is to provide your group of hard-to-employ people with great advice, mental health care and addiction support, for example. Government wouldn't be involved.

        This is another example of the Golden Age, which I define as a time in which society does not have shortages of critical goods and services so much as it has a need for new and better systems.

        Getting the hard-to-employ employed should be worth something towards a tax credit

        CA gives a nice tax credit; why wouldn’t an employer have a 1 year program and get the tax credit annually https://www.edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/Work_Opportunity_Tax_Credit.htm …. $9500 might help a small bus - plus it helps the person looking for a job and the employer could be a job training program

        Very interesting. As an employer having a hard time finding people I might be interested. The surety bond would help because so much money is lost in training when someone doesn't work out.
