Certainly not where I work :) in my experience, the places that hire underqualified staff are probably happy to continue to do so (they have a competence floor, but it's lower than the expert shops).
Or are you suggesting some way in which underqualified hires can somehow... breed other underqualified staff? In the absence of bogon supercolliders (or, well, actual human breeding) I don't see how that's possible. Am I missing your point?

> underqualified hires can somehow... breed other underqualified staff?
My experience is that underqualified hires kind of breeds more underqualified staff by the following process: more-qualified staff (QS) can't fix the messes done by the underqualified staff (US); QS gets overwhelmed with work requests (everyone wants QS on the job), its work becomes of lesser quality (effectively turninq QS into an overworked US); time passes and US gets more and more UNDERwhelmed with work requests and this affects QS's motivation to work (I work well, people put me to work a lot, and I can't take my vacations with my children because they put the payroll system under my responsability, etc... while Joe surfs the web the whole day, never leave one minute and a half past five and takes the whole July vacationing.) driving QS's work quality still further down, etc. etc...

I read "companies are really needing qualified staff" and wondered if the need was caused by the process of cleaning up the unqualified staff's messes. The unwritten part was "if companies hadn't hired unqualified staff in the first place, maybe they wouldn't need 10 competent people, just one or two".

Ah. That's true enough, though it's amazing how much mess even one qualified person can clean up (though 'qualified' is really the wrong word: 'competent and motivated' is more important).
