# Job market is like Tinder: few options, many swipes, and desperation makes anything negotiable.

## Claim
The job market is like Tinder, options kam hain, swipes zyada. People are so desperate for employment that even location and basic requirements become negotiable.

## Mechanism
When supply of jobs is low and competition is high, candidates stop filtering and start applying indiscriminately, leading to absurd matches (like relocating to Jamaica without checking).
