If there are 100 workers and 200 jobs, those workers will take the highest paying 100 jobs. The other 100 openings go unfilled.

Quantities are not fixed. 1 worker could take 2 jobs (either by working more or harder) if the pay was a sufficient motivator.
There are only so many workers and so many hours in the day. More pay won't fix that.
