This is really just taking one person's (or one industry's) hiring issues and painting them as the cause of the entire economy's problems. If you actually ask businesses what their concerns are, slow sales come in way higher than a low quality labor pool.
Yes, there are probably sectors that need more employees. Yes, there are probably people whose old jobs have disappeared. That doesn't mean that structural unemployment is necessarily a significant factor in the economy's current problems, and there is considerable evidence to the contrary.
