  • Even though on the surface, these red hot jobs reports and relatively low unemployment look good to the fed and our government there's a lot happening beneath the surface that they could care less to look into. As long as these headline figures come out looking OK they'll just keep on saying the economy is great.

    Inflation and recession are currently wreaking havoc on America. The worst aspect of this crisis is that consumers are accruing credit card debt.

The collapse has undoubtedly begun.

      It's unemployment insurance fraud. They create ghost jobs so they can pump up their (employment to job vacancy) that they provide to each state.
      This allows them to tout 'big job numbers' and get a tax-deduction towards the state unemployment fund.
      HR are given directions to perform 'interview' quotas so that the state can't prosecute them for fraud.

However, I have chosen to disregard these challenges and take pride in my blue-collar occupation. I am immensely proud of my life and the accomplishments I have achieved.
    Ultimately, my primary objective is to ensure my own satisfaction and contentment in my work. Therefore, I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to be gainfully employed in a job that I genuinely enjoy.

    In Oct '23 our entire staff was let go from a production studio. By year's end, still no resume response, I'm wrapping pots to make extra money during the holidays. The lady across from me says her husband doesn't like her working, but things with her husband's construction company have been dead. She said they put in 34 estimates, not one phone call. 4 months later and 100's of applications later, I'm down to my last dollars before my rent and all my bills push me on to the street into a car that I won't afford the insurance for. I got hired at another digital studio, two weeks later with $100 in my account I get my first paycheck right at the time the eclipse happened. Still hanging on, but I'll tell you the job market is an empty blizzard right now. For every lead, there's 100 people firing off resumes within an hour. It feels like throwing darts at the wall. Saving as much as I can. I don't take this one for granted, and pray it lasts. Best of luck out there.

She has a strong solid work history, great references, immaculate background record, etc. So she eventually said screw it and gave up looking for about 6 months. Then stumbled upon an open position at the daycare our child was going to and is now working there for pennies on the dollar compared to what she was making. So....what's the deal?

Since then I applied to 8000+ jobs, got into 100s of interviews, did free technical work (homeworks/assignments: which most of them were accurate too) for those who interviewed me, been through 5+ step interviews for many companies, made it till the final steps, was ashamed to bother my colleagues multiple times because those companies asked me to provide references. I have not got an offer since then. Outside of tech I have sales and business development experience for oil and gas and electrification, but nobody really calls for interview. Man I speak 6 languages, lived 30+ years abroad, have experience in many fields and Im so hungry to get a proper job but all they do is wasting your time with no results in the end.
    I don’t understand and I don’t know how unemployment is 4 percent. The only thing that comes to my mind is because people have bills to pay and they uber or deliver food and etc and these part time contractor jobs are being counted as “jobs”.

      Or they’re simply postings to harvest resumes or personal data. A friend of mine got a follow email to a job posting he answered where the employer wanted him to fill up some survey where they were asking about SSI benefits. The company had the nerve to ask for his social security number? That’s illegal and he didn’t respond. 4 days later he got an email saying they were not moving forward with his candidacy. They didn’t get the form back. Had zero to do with his experience or any need they claim to have.
      They’re also asking for people’s ages, sexual orientation and other illegal questions. Ridiculous.

    I totally agree with you. My daughter is a very hard worker and will take the initiative to learn new needed skills on her own time. She was completely taken advantage of in her last job by being required to manage multiple teams and running multiple projects for low pay and no benefits. After, several years of being cheated, the owner bought a Rolls Royce for himself and a private chauffeur to drive him around which was ridiculous. She quit and he still calls her asking her to come back so he can cheat her a bit more! What a selfish turd!
    Now she works on a contract in scientific research and development. However, they have had her on a private contract with no benefits for the last two years. She is taking on leaderships roles and has now obtained 2 international patents so she has proved her worth. She is hoping to be hired on next week but nothing is guaranteed any more. I worry a lot about her future. She is a very intelligent, hard working girl, but I worry she will just become discouraged and burned out if this continues.

    Lowe's careers has a chat bot named Luci, if you respond yes to 3 basic questions the store MUST interview you. So for each position there are usually over 25 people interviewed which takes weeks, and sometimes they decide to put the position "on hold," and no one gets hired (full-time), you can barely get a part-time job there. Then the chat bot sends you a survey that asks, "how likely are you to shop at Lowe's after having the interview?" Makes me think its a marketing scheme to drive business, or to make people think their neighbors must be spending lots of money at Lowe's or they wouldn't be constantly hiring.

When you are laid off or something happens where you have to go on unemployment It only lasts a certain amount of time another words, cash/ credit... Once you deplete your entitlement.. you're dropped from unemployment statistics.. that doesn't mean you got a job That's just means you're not receiving/ eligible for unemployment benefits any longer.. it is a smoke and mirrors illusion... So many people have lost their jobs and gone through (depleted) their unemployment benefits and now have been dropped; B UT they haven't gotten jobs! It's deceiving!!!! You think "oh only so many people are receiving unemployment benefits!" They're not counting the people that have used up their benefits and still don't have jobs.

    I have over 10 years of experience working for State Employment agencies. The only explanation I can offer for people NOT getting the "good" jobs they're applying for is because at least 80% of the time that advertised job was ALREADY spoken for (via internal appointment or employee referral) BEFORE that job was even posted. Lastly, if it's a company that does any kind of business with government agencies, they are REQUIRED to publicly post jobs so that "everyday citizens" can apply. Many of us here are quite familiar with the phrase "It's not WHAT you know, but WHO you know."

No one forced them to exploit the global south. They lobied for it and did it. They never in a million years would voluntarily hire domestic labor for more if they can exploit people in cheaper COL areas for less. There is no more juice left in that squeeze considering they are essentially using slave labor at this point. They now HAVE to apply that squeeze domestically. The issue has always been the lie of infinite growth. It will only get worse under our current economic system. They have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize profit and that is all they are doing, the system is currently working exactly as intended. It just never was designed to work for us.

The law school job she worked towards was a dream of hers. The school let a number of professors go. She was one.
