I remind people that the fastest way to “create a job” is to take a full time position with benefits, cut the hours in half and divide them amongst two new positions after removing the benefits and now you have a 100% increase in the supply of jobs.
My first ‘legal’ job when I was a minor was working maintenance at a retirement facility. I was hired along with another high schooler at minimum wage.
It was a summer gig and right before I quit to go back to school the main maintenance guy revealed that we had replaced a single person who was paid our combined wage.

It is a long established strategy.
