It's called a bell curve. If you expect excellence at any vocation, you're only going to find about 20% of the area under the curve meets expectations. Competence probably only covers 40-60% of the curve in many industries.
Unfortunately, there isn't a good way to filter and remove the bottom 20-30% who shouldn't be working in their given industry. If we could, it would cause massive efficiency improvements worldwide, but we would probably end up with a nice chunk of the bottom 20% being unemployable due to their incompetence being a global personal property rather than isolated to just what they do today. Basically, accepting the incompetent in the workplace is a alternate form of welfare.
