As someone who reads private company financial statements for a living, I can
confidently say you're not even close.
Many of the private businesses I work with have slim margins. The owners aren't getting rich on the backs of servant labor. Those who have become wealthy have risked a LOT and have given more time than their hourly workers could possibly imagine.
EVERY business owner I've spoken with in the last 6 months has job openings they can't fill. Many of them are entry-level positions paying $18-25/hr and they can't even get people to apply. There is a boy in my priest's quorum who has had at least 6 different jobs in the last 6 months because he continues to find better paying jobs - slowly climbing the ladder.
My favorite story is of a CEO who works for an aluminum casting business. He is working on the shop floor and has trained his 62 year old secretary to drive a forklift while answering calls on her headset because they can't find people to apply for work. OSHA may be concerned about that one.

What type of job are you hoping to get? And what do people say is the reason they won’t let you have it?

Depends on the job. But if you go out in public you can see that there are employee shortages with your own eyes. Both
