Some people who have expressed interest in dishwashing jobs and some of the ads I have come across requires you to complete a online application??? I mean someone who has a interest in being a dishwasher probably wouldn't have a computer at home or computer experience so to fill out a online application is beyond nuts.
clerical or customer service I can see but a job that does not require the use of a computer?? Now I can see how someone can turn to illegal ways of making money because for a dishwasher job you should just be able to fax a resume. You definitely didn't see ads like this in 1999.
An online application that you can do at the library or at home is probably easier than printing out a resume and finding a place to fax it these days...
You didn't see ads like that in 1999 because in 1999 computers were not as prevalent as they are now. Now, anyone can walk into a library, workforce/unemployment office, and file applications online for free. In fact, at an unemployment office, they would get professional assistance in filling it out correctly.
But a person who only qualifies for a job like that won't have internet access or knowledge of how to complete a online application.
Most of those people have a library card, don't they? Also, are you assuming the only person who would apply for a dishwashing job is a poor and borderline homeless or something? Maybe they are looking for a teenager who wants to eventually learn chef duties. Or an immigrant who can't speak the language well but is willing to work hard.

A person who is desperate for work and is willing to wash dishes would not know how to use a computer.
And there are plenty of high school kids, and 20 somethings who will wash dishes. And know how to operate a computer. Better restaurants often start new employees there, before they move on to cook, or waiter. And yes I know a person who did this.
