Not only do I go to all my scheduled interviews, I often get there 30 minutes ahead of time. Doesn't seem to make a difference.

100 % true.
Now get out of here with that logic ...
Many, who have commented, are telling me I'm not offering enough money ... or I am not making the job attractive enough ...

With me, it does. I'm appreciative of a person's time, planning and preparation.
Keep you head up.

Our pay is very competitive for the type of work in the industry for which I am hiring for.
You are hiring an Office Manager. That isn't an industry specific job unless I am completely missing what you are hiring for. If you want a good candidate you cannot be competitive in pay you have to lure someone over. The good people are working right now already and are not going to leave for a competitive rate. They need a bump up.
I was recently hiring for a similar position and I found the above out the hard way and when I corrected got great candidates.

I'm being vague on purpose. It's more than that, but I don't want to be too specific on here.

That’s par for the service industry. I’d say about 1 in 4 will actually respond to a request for a quote

Millennial dude in my office says ghosting on interviews and even accepted jobs is a phenomenon. USA Today had this on it.

It seems like someone who had the capital, resources, knowledge, drive and follow-up skills could make a killing in the service industry.

At the end of the day you have to ask yourself this:
Which candidate can sell Cutco knives the best?

Will you’re interviewing trash man. People don’t do that if they’re educated and interviewing for a good job

Yes, people don't care about following up at all.
I have a garage that has a storage building on top of it, it's completely free span, no pillars or anything, open 2 car garage, so it took some pretty major trusses and such to accomplish. Well, recently my garage door has been sagging. Need to replace the garage door header board. I did my research on the internet and decided that a specialized engineered piece would be the best bet, I found a company about 70 miles away that sells these. So I called them. The guy takes all my figures and says he'll get with an engineer figure out exactly what I need and get an exact price but that I'm probably looking somewhere in the $500 range, and then give me a call see what I think. Three weeks later I call the guy cuz I haven't heard from him and it was quite obvious that he had completely forgotten about me.

You absolutely can.
I made a killing in school bartending and waiting tables because, get this, I showed up to work on time, was sober when i was there, and did what they asked of me.

Is that really the difference today? Just following up?
My dad gave me a good piece of advise. 90% of life is just showing up. It's amazing the number of people who can't manage that.

The funny part is you totally believe this, but it's for a gas station

It’s a 1st interview. Salary isn’t discussed at 1st interviews at least not for mine.

If you are not posting the pay for borderline professional jobs that's half your issue. If its a job where someone does not know the pay is at least very good, you will get a lot of people that are half arse looking for a better job and not really care. They have a job already and they don't know your job is better for a fact, so they don't want to stick their head out too much at their current job.
I always do a quick phone interview for those positions. Easier to spend 5 minutes on the phone vetting them than 15 minutes of my time wasted meeting them in person or waiting for them to no show.
