The Endless Cycle - Broken?

I have been trying to apply for a job lately. Jobs, actually. And it's quite difficult. Handing out resume after resume, applying everywhere, doing everything to try and get something.

It all seems so foolish, well, foolish at times, considering there are so many people without jobs. Don't we want our young people working, learning, gaining precious experience, and contributing to our society?

I had this idea. Certain jobs, grocery stores, fast food restaurants, jobs like that would be 'entry level jobs'
These would ONLY be available to people with under a certain amount of work experience or have been out of the job market for a certain considerable amount of time.
This would give ample space and opportunity for jobs to recruit and hire employees who aren't over qualified, spreading those who able to work other jobs around to the positions they fit into.

It would also be beneficial, at least in my mind, to reserve a couple spaces in a workforce to always have 'rookie' employees. That way you would constantly have junior positions available, unless your employee roster was full, and then they would rotate out.

I can see that this would cause problems when someone has worked somewhere for over the maximum allotted time, but that would then give them the financial stability, at least, a bit, and the experience to then gain a job that would then be considered in the next level, more experienced positions such as those in retail or managerial positions.

I just feel like the job hunt shouldn't be as hard as it is. Maybe not like this, exactly, but something along the lines. Something that is always guaranteed to spread the wealth around, and have jobs in the hands of people who are suited for them.
