If careful attention is paid to the reality, we will see clearly, the real shortage is of the right skills, rather than of jobs. If the right skills are developed, the right start-ups and other enterprises will emerge and provide the jobs needed. It’s always the horse before the cart, not the other way round. At a personal level, it will require the realisation of the need for the acquisition of required skills, the discipline to pursue it and the commitment to push through. These will require a great deal of personal courage and effort. But then, the benefit will be immeasurable. Emi Iyalla
About This Quote

The use of the term "right skills" is a bit vague, but the idea is clear enough. The real shortage, according to this quote, is of the right skills, rather than of jobs. This suggests that there aren't enough jobs for everyone for what it takes to be successful in the job market. Instead, the main problem is that there aren't enough people with the right skills.
