  • For a long time, people were using the strong labor market as an excuse of why this is not a recession, and the economy is in great shape. However, the amount of job openings is dropping in every state across America. Meanwhile, the unemployment is slowly ticking up. Leading us right into the next recession.

    I recognize the hardships that come with economic struggles like unemployment, job loss, inflation, housing market instability, political uncertainties, and the global impact of conflicts and wars. Making ends meet during such times can be incredibly challenging. To navigate this difficult period, considering alternative job prospects, enhancing skills through online courses, and expanding your network can heighten the chances of securing employment. Moreover, prudent budgeting, exploring available financial aid programs, and seeking assistance from community organizations can offer some relief. How are you currently tackling these challenges? Have you implemented any specific strategies to cope?

      It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

I just got offered a job paying way more than my current role, that checks off all the right boxes for my profession, and can't wait to get started! Lots of jobs involving skilled professions are hard to fill out here in Florida, so people in skilled professions should definitely look for better opportunities if the writing's on the wall in your current job because it is an employee's market out there. I am moving out of working in Pharma, and they are also finding challenges in getting people with the right skill sets and/or ability to effectively train into their roles. Don't choose to stay miserable in an economic downturn if you have options.👍

      It's called the enshitification of America. Despite the media retroactively acting like 2007 was a horrible bubble, houses were priced normally here in NE, for example. Lots of cheap restaurants then. Cheap used cars even compared to salaries then. More third spaces because coffee shops could afford to operate. So even when I was unemployed in 2009, it wasn't that bad. But now? Make 114K and there is a constant state of dread worse than 2008. At least I still had hope of better days post 2008. But now? I'm extreme budgeting and not doing anything and still down to $3000 every pay day (which is the minimum I keep in there so that's like going to $0.00 for other people). And I am always like, what the heck did I do to get to zero?

Besides, it's reciprocal behavior, if you apply for a job, go on an interview, and they choose someone else, do you think that employer even bothers to call any of the unsuccessful applicants and tell them? Companies have 'ghosted' job applicants for decades, why should employers expect better treatment from job seekers? Employers are now reaping what they sowed.

      I agree but some would argue that back in 2021 during the great resignation employees had more options and have a better chance of getting hired. (Don't forget if you didnt get the jab you couldnt get hired) Now pendulum has swung back towards the employers... even job seekers with experience and skills still having a tough time getting hired.
      Say what you want about gen z and some millenials but most of us value good management, decent PTO versus being a overworked slave to the company or business. I think its a dual edge sword you obviously need a job to survive... but most are willing to give some employers a taste of their own medicine and thats to the boomers, and some gen x leadership.
      P.S. im a millenial and i do work hard, and barely call out of work but bc of my stance on certain job demands i feel most employers dont like that. I do everything i need to do but i will not slave myself and be talked down to anymore. You treat people with respect and give them a chance who knows youll have a decent staff.

      ​@adampeters632 Oh no, tons of admin and office jobs as well. But, it's pretty hard to get something really desirable unless you're here first. People applying from out of state have a hard time breaking into the market. It's a very insular community in some aspects, and finding housing is still hard unless you have plenty of disposable income (or a 5th wheel camper TBH). I've been here for a bit over 10 years and will never leave. The high income and low cost of living can't be found anywhere else IMHO.

I'm not joking when I tell you that they called me back to offer me a position in November roughly 3 months later. Even worse it took me another 5 weeks to even get hired on with them because you have to do a physical work test most of these people that she's probably reaching out to have already found jobs. There's always another side of the story that we are not hearing. Also when they reached out to me from my job I did not call them back the same day and then they called me again the following day and left another message. They were desperate I believe.

    I think people can't afford the jobs...where I am is rural and if the pay is 30k with the high cost of rent and gas, car insurance, to get to the job, and then all other costs of necessities, you can't afford the job. We have 2 openings where I work, and four interviewed people were offered the jobs and they turned it down...also the town is a tourist town where tourists pay 1k plus per week rent and some locals camp out and rent out their houses all summer. So if a worker has a job in the town, they have to drive from outside the high rent tourist area about a half hour, and still that far rent is high but not 1k per week. On the flip side, I applied to a job with much higher pay, and played phone tag with the interviewer only to find out the pay was way lower than advertised so not only was it a waste of my time, but I gained a mistrust of the company. I think the incentive to work was lost. The American Dream seems unreachable, and we see our government giving all our hard work away to non citizens; it is theft by our government, and people's incentive is crushed.
