You know what has an amazing ability to get people back to work? Offering decent paying jobs, with sufficient benefits, stability, that match with corresponding skills of people, and also have growth potential and a chance to remain viable. Do this, and you will find people will go back to work.
But, if you have an environment where you do a national hiring day, and hire 60,000 people, and over 1 million apply, it is hard to try to motivate people back to work. Same with only offering sporatic hours and also demanding they be available on call all the time kind of works against getting a sufficient pool. Also, if there aren't jobs available, no amount of motivation is going to get people to do things that don't exist. Trust me on this, working years for no pay, to try to create professional work, gets old.
