You don't need to do a comprehensive research paper to know this. You can do the test yourself. Put a post out on social media that you're hiring and that you're accepting walk-ins, write off your next day, and then witness the line of desperation accumulating at your door.

Take the first couple of CVs and read how, on top of being desperate, the people have been so let down by the system that even motivating why they should get work is an apparent difficulty.

Sure, the first time you read that an applicant is "very computer literate," you can have a little chuckle, and when you read "highly attentive to detail," you can pass it off as an honest typo, but when you start noticing the patterns, it gets alarming.
