I have had a similar problem.

After 10 years in a government job i need to move on too but, despite the fact my employer would gladly rave about me to anyone who asked and i would consider myself highly capable, it seems impossible to find anything offering more then a looooow down starting position at the very bottom and never at more then $20/hour wage.

Where is this labour shortage?

We have a Tim Horton employee shortage and a McDonalds employee shortage - and even a super-high skill shortage - but for the rest of us in between those two extremes? I guess you need to know someone high-up?
