The interviewed interviewed today while having experience in food service, has not kept a job for more than a year bouncing from job to job and was fired another.
Maybe the problem is with how you attribute the person "bouncing from job to job"? I personally did this when I was a student because my ultimate goal was to complete a university education, which my family was too poor to pay for, and working at disposable jobs was a means to that end. Now it's possible that the person you interviewed wasn't working towards a greater goal too, but have you ever considered you could be incorrectly attributing reasons for peoples' behavior?
The job market is better; that makes undesirable jobs harder to fill, and this industry is filled with undesirable jobs. Overpaying for them relative to when the job market was weak is the only way out of getting poor applicant pools, again and again.

We keep hearing about supply and demand, and this is an example of how it works. Sometimes it favors the employer and sometimes the employee.
No one is going to consider a dietary aid in a nursing home a skilled job. It is a low paying, unskilled job where the job duties are really not all that appealing. As for people on welfare not working, unless you can pay enough to cover the benefits they lose being on welfare, just not going to happen. Maybe offer free child care and you might get some movement on the jobs. If you want more reliable people, you have to pay more. It's just the nature of the workforce. It's no different then someone working at McDonalds really. You are competing with the same workforce as fast food restaurants, low end retail jobs, etc. None of those industries are known for having reliable workers.
