How could anyone find another job if every job is already taken? Wouldn't you first have to find someone willing to trade jobs with you?

Are people really confusing unemployment with no job vacancies?

You could have 100% employment, and still have people looking to hire. If there are 1000 people in a population who all work, it doesn't mean none of the businesses are looking to hire

It's the reverse: if unemployment is 0%, there are no persons without a job, but there may be jobs without a person.
