absolutely they are posting things so the government they own can pretend things are going well when we are clearly in a severe recession. Hey did you know the NFL = WWE? Also do me a favor and look up Jack Parsons for me, did you know NASA and Scientology are connected?
I put in an application for a job two months ago and yesterday they finally got back in touch with me to tell me they gave the position to another individual already under their employment. Absolutely ridiculous.
Years ago my brother applied for a city job in California. It was for a Senior Accounting position. He has an MBA and years of accounting experience. He didn’t get the job. It went to the hiring managers daughter who just graduated from college with just a BA. He was then hired by the county which is better, but it doesn’t change the fact that he lost the city job because of blatant nepotism.
Yes, it is very unconscionable that companies do this. A manager in our group said HR told him he had to post a job externally even though he already had someone internal chosen.
You’ll notice the one thing news outlets never cover has to do with the fact that most of those jobs aren’t a living wage and the ones that are create higher levels of competition
Kinda, more like there are lots of good paying jobs out there, many will never get filled though because there are too many in-the-office positions that people despise, jobs that require a higher skill set, and people applying for these jobs when they don't know jack, and lastly people are applying to jobs that aren't actually "ghost jobs" rather they are hiring but they won't hire until a year from now and you're just in line hoping your resume gets picked.
So true, I work for a university and me and my co worker have interviewed for multiple jobs in different departments within the university and could not get those jobs because the hiring manager had someone else they knew in mind but have to fill the quota to interview candidates from the university
That’s how the company I work for is doing it. It’s mainly internal candidates. But they have barred people who were laid off from applying for one full year.
That’s what I think most companies are doing too. I do not want to start from the ground up again. That’s why I went to college and not jumping to different employers so I keep growth within the same company but I want to be diverse in my experience. Something seems off imo
And this guy gave advice on making sure there's certain keywords on your resume so the employer knows..... How stupid is this, doesn't matter how many keywords you got if they're not even intending to hire.... Garbage people in charge
@mariomills been going through this since I got laid off in feb getting lots of interviews and calls about being interested in a job only to be rejected saying they moved forward only a month later to see the same job back on the recruiting sites
That's true but they're still getting all sorts of tax credits/deductions, tax cuts etc... which a certain amount comes fom your paycheck. They want to replace people with AI, should we be paying for that too?
I’m so sick of the news and the government saying the economy is doing great and how unemployment is at an all time low… it’s like they’re laughing in our faces . This is the worst economy and job market I have ever dealt with as a young millennial.
As an older millennial, the economy isn't that bad. It's actually great right now with the exception of the housing bubble. If you're struggling in today's economy it's because you're falling behind the rest of us.
I got laid off earlier this year. Took me almost 4 months to land a similar job. Which to me is the normal range. So many companies want 3-4 rounds of interviews. Which takes forever. Then the background check, drug test…..etc.
keep that job we are already unofficially in a recession. And given the debt, a pandemic, bubbles in stocks bonds and houses, the m2 money supply contracted in 2022 for the 1st time since 1932 all kinds of records or rare facts, we can conclude as a fact that 2025 has the highest chance of the recession ending in a financial crisis/ crash then any recession outside 2008 going back to the 1940s
@@brianoleson9224 Bro, we've been there since Q2 of 2022 and now we're in a depression. I'm more intuned then any of these low info clowns on here because it's my business. When considering all the metrics, only the great depression was worse than this in all of American history. Just because a small portion of the population has a living wage paying job and we have the faux creature comforts, that isn't how economic activity is measured. It's very simple. The average mean wage coupled with average mean cost of living being underwater= economy collapsed. There were even still rich people in 1929, but the country was still in a deep financial crisis. The most worrying thing that likely spells impending doom is the M1 and especially M2 money supply. That's unrecoverable. Still, there will always be wealthy and rich people as long as there is some type of capital in existence. Even if it's not fiat currency.
@@christophersmith2470 i agree that we already are in a recession but i think we are close any day to 12 months no longer 2,5,10 years away from a economic meltdown the 1st one in 17 years is all im saying i expect the tv and the news to be all over it soon
I have two degrees: one in Homeland Security and the other in Information Technology. I’ve sent out over 100 tailored resumes for each specific job I’ve applied to, but I’ve only had two interviews and no offers. At this point, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong!
I know many people want to work. But there are a lot of people realizing that no matter how hard or long they work, they won’t be able to afford basic things, like food and shelter. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze. Let robots do all the work.
The worst part is the people working hardest are getting the least remuneration for their efforts and then shamed in the media for not taking more hours, more work despite the poverty wages. 40% of people in work need state support. That’s a reflection of greed not poor work ethics by working people. This is being done by design, by greed.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate and stocks.
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards early retirement and financial freedom, but since covid outbreak, the economy so far has caused my portfolio to underperform, do I keep contributing to my 401k or look at alternative sectors to meet my goals?
@@kaylat63 I've always delegated my investment decisions to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date.
I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
*Mr Gary Mason Brooks* a highly respected figure in his field. I suggest delving deeper into his credentials, as he possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
I've been job hunting since April and have sent out nearly 700 resumes. I paid to have mine professionally done, and since I don't get rejection emails right away I know it's getting past the ATS. This economy is not as good as they're saying...
Customizing your resume is very time consuming and doesn't increase the odds. Especially when most of the job listings are fake. At this point, landing an interview and an offer is the luck of the draw. Outside of having a direct contact, there's not much you can do to push the process along. You just have to be diligent and patiently wait. Something will eventually come along. If nothing else, this experience should teach us to curb our unnecessary spending habits (for those of us who have this), prioritize saving and living below our means when employed again.
Yes, if there was a job report, a NET jobs report, for Oct '24 thru Dec of '24 (19 days from now) I'd wager that an honest report would show 0 jobs added to the economy.
I think we need to also take into account all of the people who are underemployed and/or don’t have a job in their field. My husband has a PhD, and after he got let go from his last job, he’s been tutoring and subbing, but hasn’t been able to find anything in his field. It’s been almost a year and a half. But that’s not showing up in these statistics even, because he is employed.
@ you’re right. They’ve never counted in the statistics, but I think they should be noted as it does indicate how people are doing in terms of finding suitable employment. If every grad finds a job, but it’s all minimum or part time, still not great.
Indeed and most job sites sucks . And these companies acting the F up with all the silly multiple interviews and assessment test . Over 200 resumes sent out and only 4 interviews in three months 🤦🏾♂️
Need a list of these so-called new jobs. UBER AND LIFT DON'T COUNT. These scam artists are always hiring, sending emails, and saying that I'm qualified for a position. Please don't tell me that these are jobs they taking about😂
Many of us are over 50 so trying to find another job is next to impossible. So if you are over 50 stay at your job because good luck with finding another job
Is it true tech companies are firing all of the old people so they can replace them with lower paid young people who are more easily willing to be subservient to corporate indoctrination?
We need to keep a list of how many of these businesses are actually hiring. If they arent't hiring they need to start having any sort of tax benefits they receive from workers paychecks diminished. We shouldn't have our taxes being used for any sort of business whose intent is to replace people with robotic automation/AI. The capitalism we have today is destroying this country ... everything you buy now is made in a foreign country and has even become a threat to our military being able to purchase what they need to operate.
Well, it's even worse when your last 'job' was a successful business that collpased and you're over 50. Age discrimination is real in America. EEO my foot.
I applied to over 40 jobs on indeed. I have 3 degrees and a certificate. I’ve only had just got hired to a non desirable job. I only received 3 interviews. I even had a job coach help with my resume. Right now getting a job feels impossible. Especially seeing multiple rejection letters.
I'm unemployed and broke. And I got bills to pay for but I have no money. I've been skipping meals and not eating. Can't even afford food. Trying not to become homeless. Been to job fairs but nothing happens. disgraceful.
This. 100%. I just got two people I know pushed to the top (who are both excellent candidates) as soon as my company opened some jobs. They’ll almost certainly be hired because of my referral. These jobs would be extremely hard to get otherwise.
yup! 4 hours at $25/ hr…Most people are happy with it just based on the hourly pay but broken down its minimum wage.😂 Ive sooooo accepted a job like this.
@@johnnytsunami3558 Honestly, for awhile I did. lol I was in the process of studying for my real estate license and the job was for a newly opened Real Estate Broker Office as an office manager. I figured this would be good for experience and a little flexible being its part time. I was soooo wrong. Although I asked for additional hours which increased my pay, the work, management wanting to come in once it time for me to clock out and start working on top of their attempts to hinder my pursuit of selling homes and helping buyers did not go over well. They agreed once I got my license that I would be able to and then switched up.🤦🏽♀️ So YES & NO😂
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Either they’re ghost jobs or they’re low-paying, exploiting jobs in the service industry (retail, fast food, hospitality, etc) where you have to have open availability to get the job (and still not get full time hours). Might as well stay unemployed the second choice is your only option.
@christophersmith2470 they started off good. Subsequently, Indeed started encouraging employers to take their time and go through a lengthy hiring process. This confused and burnt out hiring managers as well as job seekers
Applied for over 100 and haven’t got a phone call. You got to work 3 jobs in order to survive a living. Greedy business corporations looks at their employees like numbers.
@@johnnytsunami3558 definitely not. I’m about to get a job offer as a linux administrator starting at 130k but it isn’t guaranteed. Just because you have the technical qualifications and/or degree doesn’t mean anything until you actually get the job. Luckily I already have a job in the military but it’s the outside world that is looking very unforgiving.
@@douglassmith9445 well sounds like things will work out for you.. but wow , imagine going through school getting in debt, just to not even have a job at the end
One reason it’s taking longer to find a job is that many are looking for remote jobs as companies are trying to enforce return-to-work policies. This is creating a glut of people only applying for the smaller number of remote jobs remaining. Some people aren’t willing to accept going back to living in high-rent cities, commuting in insane traffic, paying for child care, etc. If I lose the job I have now I’ll freelance until I find another remote job.
I quit my job without anything lined up and got a job within a month. I work in sales, however. You will never have to worry about being unemployed if you work in sales. Demand is infinite, almost.
@ The job market and housing market is abysmal. No one cares about gdp and the stock market except academics and investors. People are struggling badly. Hiring numbers are awful and there are fake jobs everywhere. How out of touch can economists be? It’s already a recession.

I know right? I was on an interview last year and actually got hired and these cretins literally had no clue what to do next. I had to help them through the interview process. The owner was even there and told an employee to tell the other interviewer out there waiting that the job had been filled. The owner shook my hand and said his manager would take over onboarding, and he left. His manager never called me back, so when I followed up to see when my start date was an employee told me she quit the day before. I tracked the owner down in another store by phone and asked him what gives. He said she put in her 2 weeks notice (which was well before my interview) and that the position I was hired for would no longer exist anymore. Companies pretending to have jobs open are doing just that. Pretending. It costs $140 to do a full Dun & Bradstreet background on a company and I'd bet 90% would have a poor rating, so we're taking great risks with our time even applying for a job. None of this would be happening in even a somewhat healthy economy. Notice none of this went on when Trump was in office before COVID (which the globalists purposely unleashed on the world) Companies were actually profitable and wanted to hire talent.
Because everyone now want to require resumes and they only care about, the gaps( why you haven’t work for long instead of hire you even you have all that requirements) they should don’t even ask about resumes whenever they have trainings.
Having a resume requirement weeds out a lot of people who are less educated or lazy. It’s very easy to create a basic resume or have someone do it for you. I made one for my husband recently in about twenty minutes.
They are OVER taxing the ppl with no kids and they aren’t married….. I get it ….. but… my point is they are overtaxing. How is someone supposed to start a family when being taxed like this? Just cheat and have kids out of wedlock anyways? It’s almost half my check. Something not right about that….. it’s never been this bad…..
Sure jobs are posted but are not actually hiring - this is just to keep the resume mill rolling and give the impression of a growing employer. Many sectors are now dead.

I get your point but if people take a less paying job and are still having a challenge and unhappy they will continuously repeat the unsatisfied job cycle. I think this will work for people that can afford to take a less paying job and can mentally tolerate dealing with all that comes with it too. Me personally, Ive done so but after a while I find myself back down the rabbits hole of job searching.

It took me over a year to finally find a job, and it just barely pays the bare minimum essential bills. Most of the job postings are ghost jobs or they don't pay enough to live anymore. My current job pays the same as what I was making 10 years ago at a different job, and back then it was plenty to live off of and still have money to save and go on vacation once a year. Now it's just enough for the bare essentials with nothing leftover to save. I don't go out to eat, I don't have subscription services like Netflix, I don't go out to do fun things, I can't even afford car insurance. I go to work and come home, go to work and come home, and repeat forever. I skip meals constantly to save a little money on groceries. I make about 1800 a month after taxes and 1000 of that goes to rent. Then I've got gas, electric, water, phone and internet to pay. Then gas in my car to get to and from work. All of that comes out to about 500 a month, leaving me with 300 for toilet paper, soap, shampoo, feminine products for me and my daughter, and groceries. It's just nuts. I couldn't imagine trying to make it on the pay offered at most jobs around here. I still randomly get rejection emails from lower paying jobs I applied to over a year ago when I was desperate to take ANY job. I've worked full time jobs for almost 20 years and stayed at almost all of them for at least 3 years, have worked in many different fields and have acquired very useful skills from each field, but that doesn't matter anymore. Having a good resume with a strong work history and good work ethic will get you nowhere nowadays, not even a minimum wage job.
Go apply for two low paying jobs. It will be like having one good paying job. I work as a janitor and dishwasher and I make 55k before taxes. That’s what allot of good jobs are offering but there aren’t allot of those jobs. There are millions of lowing paying jobs. I know businesses that close because they can’t fill low paying jobs
Healthcare-Not everybody can be a nurse or a doctor and honestly most healthcare jobs suck. The biggest employer in my town is the hospital and tey have a 0% job satisfaction score. Public Safety- more gov't jobs. Just what we need Logistics-Run solely by 3 sh*t companies. Amazon, UPS and FedEx. UPS is the only worth a crap one but getting hired there as a driver is harder than getting a job as a US congressman. FedEx is subbed out now by anonymous companies that constantly keep ghost listings up, and Amazon did away with direct hire work. 100% of thier DSR's are all DEI companies run by the scorge of the Earth. No thanks
I've been unemployed for 6 months. Some companies have even reached out to me on my phone to apply, but even then they still send me rejection emails. Not even the freaking minimum wage zero skills cashier positions are hiring!
The problem is even when you learn new skills like AI PROGRAMING, ROBOTICS, data analysis, etc. you are competing with the BEST of the BEST in the ENTIRE WORLD because jobs are now remote!!!
respect to anyone who is job hunting! I got laid off my first B.S. job after graduating in 2022 it took me 6 months to get it, and another 6 months of applying to finally get a better position
I remember a time when you could find a job in one or two weeks. When the average job seeker needs 15 weeks to land a job, that would suggest the ratio of job seekers to the number of job openings is very high. In other words, there is too much competition for each job opening (on average). The big corporate layoffs in recent months and years also dumped a lot of job seekers onto the job market. Maybe the economy needs more jobs, despite the media's insistence that the "economy is doing great". And if you already have a job, the economy may feel great to you... but once you enter the job market and try to find a job, you might find it takes a long time to find one, as many people have. This is one reason people are choosing to stay at their current jobs longer. This may also contribute to wage stagnation, as companies now have the upper hand in salary negotiations.
I'm in tech and we're hiring like crazy right now. At least with SWEs it seems like the candidates that have been out of work for the longest also trend toward lower performance through the live coding exercises. Mag 7 are very much hiring right now as long as your coding AND engineering clear technical bar.
There's a lot of things people don't know. My msters program has a class where we learn how to break through the ATS systems. These are 20 year old systems. They have so many flaws. For example, people (myself included) love to put the | because it's a clean looking divider for human eyes, especially when you have something like Company Name | Job Title. But thee system get confused by the | symbol, and it will reject your resume every time if you have that in your resume. It has nothing to do with how qualified you are, but that these systems are horribly outdated, and thos who know how to beat them will do great. But most don't.
I think the only way to rapid the job market is having companies to require applicants to take entrance exams if they passed it they go to the interview
@@kristinevans4654 the biggest advice I can give you is don’t make your resume for a human eye. It should be readable obviously, but nothing fancy, no colors, just text, no images, no background colors. All of that stuff can confuse these systems and make your resume rejected. There’s tons of templates online for basic text resumes. You want to follow that because recruiters also want to see a familiar format. Anything that makes them work harder is an easy rejection.
@@frankiecarrrierivg03 I do agree but the problem is there’s simply not enough jobs in most industries for all of the applicants. If they made the system more fair and straightforward, they wouldn’t be able to blame you for not finding a job and then say “there’s just not enough qualified applicants” when “qualified” is vague and means you have a long list of abstract and random skills. It’s a broken job system in a broken economic system. And everything about it is designed to conceal how bad things are so those doing well can ignore how bad it is for the majority of people.
The 2 wonderful excuses potential employers are using are the following: we are not hiring now but if we people to draw from when the young people go back to school we will call you. Another is this: There are no job openings for your skill set at this time. My fiancé never could find a job because she is blind. The favorite excuse at every job interview she had was : We are not hiring (after she showed up because they were advertising for workers). She gave up and started a successful home business.
I talked to a recruiter who told me she literally posted a job and that it was for formality and that she would submit my application internally. It's about who you know. Did I get the job, no but I learned that the manager picked who they wanted after the internal submission was finalized. I was in the top 4.😂 Strong contacts are important otherwise you'll waste time. Cultivating strong contacts is a luck of the draw though from networking. You never know who exactly knows you or knows about you but when they do and your name is spoken highly of they'll bring your name attention for an opportunity.
It is only get worse as all these sectors laying people off are these comfy office jobs. Everyone will be lying and fighting to get another job like that to sit at an easy job on their phone. Issue, being replaced by automation and the same job is being reposted for half what they were making beforehand.
I recently started a job with decent pay and good benefits but I soon realized they gave me the “North Korea” tour. No coaching or communication, everything counts as a strike against you and quick to fire people.
Break through initial canned responses is one battle. Breaking through canned mindsets that evaluate your interview responses is another. Sometimes jobs aren't buying what your selling... Even though they're claiming they need new talent
CVS corporate has been laying off thousands for the last two years and their budget recently got cut. They gave that budget to Aetna. We are expecting stores to start laying off people before long. 😢
The saddest thing is people who were deemed “essential workers” during the pandemic, and put their lives on the line to keep the economy going, are now having their livelihoods displaced due to automation. This isn’t good karma. At a societal level. Just saying. The public will be furious when they find out how many everyday heroes are secretly hurting right now… during the holiday season.
@chellastation It's terrible things get more and more expensive as the years go more, people are becoming homeless. The cost of everything is like through the roof. In fact, our national postal service has gone on strike because they wanna get paid more, meaning the people aren't getting their packages delivered. Not to mention, our Prime Minister is allowing too many immigrants to come in making Canada becoming overpopulated, and the job market is becoming more competitive, and with more immigrants, the more expensive everything gets.
If you check what figures are used to calculate the unemployed, they only include those actively searching for work in a 4 week period. How does the government decide how many people/percentage of the population are actively searching? (?? those drawing unemployment + those applying for unemployment + those actively using a government agency/Worksouce office to job hunt = unemployed???) (not counted= people ineligible or whose unemployment has run out, people who have given up job hunting--including the homeless who are turned down for work, people using non-government employment agencies so their not counted twice) If you limit the parameters used to calculate percentage, statistics can be made to lie/show only part of the truth. 😢
I never thought i would be out of work so long i thought i woukd get a job two months then i got a job recently and let me go due to budget cuts? Uh why hire if youre going to do that?
How come no is one is talking about the rise of auto tools to submit an application for people. Wouldn’t this also affect people getting an interview. If the number of applicants has increased, doesn’t this mean more competition?

As an older millennial, the economy isn't that bad. It's actually great right now with the exception of the housing bubble. If you're struggling in today's economy it's because you're falling behind the rest of us.
@oedhelsetren you do know onlyfans isn't a real job right?
I got laid off earlier this year. Took me almost 4 months to land a similar job. Which to me is the normal range. So many companies want 3-4 rounds of interviews. Which takes forever. Then the background check, drug test…..etc.
4 months is literally the hiring process length after you even get accepted 😂
I got fired 3 weeks ago and was hired at a better company 3 weeks later. BUT, I got lucky for the first time in 37 years.
keep that job we are already unofficially in a recession. And given the debt, a pandemic, bubbles in stocks bonds and houses, the m2 money supply contracted in 2022 for the 1st time since 1932 all kinds of records or rare facts, we can conclude as a fact that 2025 has the highest chance of the recession ending in a financial crisis/ crash then any recession outside 2008 going back to the 1940s
@@brianoleson9224 Bro, we've been there since Q2 of 2022 and now we're in a depression. I'm more intuned
then any of these low info clowns on here because it's my business. When considering all the metrics, only
the great depression was worse than this in all of American history. Just because a small portion of the
population has a living wage paying job and we have the faux creature comforts, that isn't how economic
activity is measured. It's very simple. The average mean wage coupled with average mean cost of living
being underwater= economy collapsed. There were even still rich people in 1929, but the country was still in
a deep financial crisis. The most worrying thing that likely spells impending doom is the M1 and especially
M2 money supply. That's unrecoverable. Still, there will always be wealthy and rich people as long as there is
some type of capital in existence. Even if it's not fiat currency.
@@christophersmith2470 i agree that we already are in a recession but i think we are close any day to 12 months no longer 2,5,10 years away from a economic meltdown the 1st one in 17 years is all im saying i expect the tv and the news to be all over it soon
it's even hard for people who are currently employed but looking for a change or better pay switches.

I have two degrees: one in Homeland Security and the other in Information Technology. I’ve sent out over 100 tailored resumes for each specific job I’ve applied to, but I’ve only had two interviews and no offers. At this point, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong!
The only jobs they give Americans are minimum wage, the others are given to family
And they say no one wants to work anymore!
Some people do need to work cause they need the money

How are Americans supposed to work? A lot of discrimination is happening it's absurd and stressful for a company to just accept you.
Yup. A lot of discrimination for sure.
Customizing your resume is very time consuming and doesn't increase the odds. Especially when most of the job listings are fake. At this point, landing an interview and an offer is the luck of the draw. Outside of having a direct contact, there's not much you can do to push the process along. You just have to be diligent and patiently wait. Something will eventually come along. If nothing else, this experience should teach us to curb our unnecessary spending habits (for those of us who have this), prioritize saving and living below our means when employed again.
Thanks to AI customizing is much better and faster. But it hardly does much
Just customize your skills or qualifications. There's no reason to change anything else on the resume.
Job fairs help. Go in person to job fairs.
The system needs to collapse
all us Americans need to do is all stand together as one ! We have the power to change this.
We have to replace it with something better, not just a dead system
Don't worry, it will in 2025. Guaranteed! and I won't blame Trump.
It sure does I'm all for it, they keep hanging on when it's nothing there
They were mostly part-time retail seasonal jobs. Seasonal jobs always surge this time of year.
Yes, if there was a job report, a NET jobs report, for Oct '24 thru Dec of '24 (19 days from now)
I'd wager that an honest report would show 0 jobs added to the economy.
The key insight: Don't trust job listing numbers alone - they're increasingly detached from real hiring intentions.
I think we need to also take into account all of the people who are underemployed and/or don’t have a job in their field. My husband has a PhD, and after he got let go from his last job, he’s been tutoring and subbing, but hasn’t been able to find anything in his field. It’s been almost a year and a half. But that’s not showing up in these statistics even, because he is employed.
Underemployed never counted. Unemployment past 1year is not counted either.
@ you’re right. They’ve never counted in the statistics, but I think they should be noted as it does indicate how people are doing in terms of finding suitable employment. If every grad finds a job, but it’s all minimum or part time, still not great.
Yup, and that is the disturbing trend of underemployment.

Jobs grow on trees, plenty to be had.
We need to keep a list of how many of these businesses are actually hiring. If they arent't hiring they need to start having any sort of tax benefits they receive from workers paychecks diminished.

Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
You are absolutely right 💯

In short - the job market looks good on paper, but reality is far less rosy.
Either they’re ghost jobs or they’re low-paying, exploiting jobs in the service industry (retail, fast food, hospitality, etc) where you have to have open availability to get the job (and still not get full time hours). Might as well stay unemployed the second choice is your only option.
Indeed single handedly destroyed and slowed down the labor market.. my opinion
Seconded. They're literally the only job board and they're scandalous.
@christophersmith2470 they started off good. Subsequently, Indeed started encouraging employers to take their time and go through a lengthy hiring process. This confused and burnt out hiring managers as well as job seekers
Applied for over 100 and haven’t got a phone call. You got to work 3 jobs in order to survive a living. Greedy business corporations looks at their employees like numbers.
Job seekers get treated so poorly that the whole process is a total nightmare. It takes so much strength not to give up.

One reason it’s taking longer to find a job is that many are looking for remote jobs as companies are trying to enforce return-to-work policies. This is creating a glut of people only applying for the smaller number of remote jobs remaining. Some people aren’t willing to accept going back to living in high-rent cities, commuting in insane traffic, paying for child care, etc. If I lose the job I have now I’ll freelance until I find another remote job.
I quit my job without anything lined up and got a job within a month. I work in sales, however. You will never have to worry about being unemployed if you work in sales. Demand is infinite, almost.

Why? You shouldn't have to be told. We've been in one since early 2022. There's your notification bell
I've gotten five SUCCESSFUL interviews that completely lacked start dates or followthrough, even when I've called them back.
I know right? I was on an interview last year and actually got hired and these cretins literally had no
clue what to do next. I had to help them through the interview process. The owner was even there and
told an employee to tell the other interviewer out there waiting that the job had been filled. The owner
shook my hand and said his manager would take over onboarding, and he left. His manager never called me
back, so when I followed up to see when my start date was an employee told me she quit the day before.
I tracked the owner down in another store by phone and asked him what gives. He said she put in her 2 weeks
notice (which was well before my interview) and that the position I was hired for would no longer exist anymore.
Companies pretending to have jobs open are doing just that. Pretending. It costs $140 to do a full Dun &
Bradstreet background on a company and I'd bet 90% would have a poor rating, so we're taking great risks
with our time even applying for a job. None of this would be happening in even a somewhat healthy economy.
Notice none of this went on when Trump was in office before COVID (which the globalists purposely unleashed
on the world) Companies were actually profitable and wanted to hire talent.
Because everyone now want to require resumes and they only care about, the gaps( why you haven’t work for long instead of hire you even you have all that requirements) they should don’t even ask about resumes whenever they have trainings.
Having a resume requirement weeds out a lot of people who are less educated or lazy. It’s very easy to create a basic resume or have someone do it for you. I made one for my husband recently in about twenty minutes.
Once u quit u job, company will not fill the job in the US anymore, they will outsources the job oversea.
The market feels like a house of mirrors.
They are OVER taxing the ppl with no kids and they aren’t married….. I get it ….. but… my point is they are overtaxing. How is someone supposed to start a family when being taxed like this? Just cheat and have kids out of wedlock anyways? It’s almost half my check. Something not right about that….. it’s never been this bad…..
Sure jobs are posted but are not actually hiring - this is just to keep the resume mill rolling and give the impression of a growing employer. Many sectors are now dead.
They’re counting people who were hired in the 227k. Not postings. Lots of companies hiring seasonal right now.

I get your point but if people take a less paying job and are still having a challenge and unhappy they will continuously repeat the unsatisfied job cycle. I think this will work for people that can afford to take a less paying job and can mentally tolerate dealing with all that comes with it too. Me personally, Ive done so but after a while I find myself back down the rabbits hole of job searching.

It took me over a year to finally find a job, and it just barely pays the bare minimum essential bills. Most of the job postings are ghost jobs or they don't pay enough to live anymore. My current job pays the same as what I was making 10 years ago at a different job, and back then it was plenty to live off of and still have money to save and go on vacation once a year. Now it's just enough for the bare essentials with nothing leftover to save. I don't go out to eat, I don't have subscription services like Netflix, I don't go out to do fun things, I can't even afford car insurance. I go to work and come home, go to work and come home, and repeat forever. I skip meals constantly to save a little money on groceries. I make about 1800 a month after taxes and 1000 of that goes to rent. Then I've got gas, electric, water, phone and internet to pay. Then gas in my car to get to and from work. All of that comes out to about 500 a month, leaving me with 300 for toilet paper, soap, shampoo, feminine products for me and my daughter, and groceries. It's just nuts. I couldn't imagine trying to make it on the pay offered at most jobs around here. I still randomly get rejection emails from lower paying jobs I applied to over a year ago when I was desperate to take ANY job. I've worked full time jobs for almost 20 years and stayed at almost all of them for at least 3 years, have worked in many different fields and have acquired very useful skills from each field, but that doesn't matter anymore. Having a good resume with a strong work history and good work ethic will get you nowhere nowadays, not even a minimum wage job.
It's called wage stagnation. Employers think their business expense doesn't include labor costs.
Go apply for two low paying jobs. It will be like having one good paying job. I work as a janitor and dishwasher and I make 55k before taxes. That’s what allot of good jobs are offering but there aren’t allot of those jobs. There are millions of lowing paying jobs. I know businesses that close because they can’t fill low paying jobs
They need to look at hiring numbers, not job listing. There are so many FAKE listing it's ridiculous 😢
Healthcare, Public Safety, and Logistics seem to always be hiring.
Healthcare-Not everybody can be a nurse or a doctor and honestly most healthcare jobs
suck. The biggest employer in my town is the hospital and tey have a 0% job satisfaction
score.
Public Safety- more gov't jobs. Just what we need
Logistics-Run solely by 3 sh*t companies. Amazon, UPS and FedEx. UPS is the only worth a crap
one but getting hired there as a driver is harder than getting a job as a US congressman. FedEx
is subbed out now by anonymous companies that constantly keep ghost listings up, and Amazon
did away with direct hire work. 100% of thier DSR's are all DEI companies run by the scorge of the Earth.

@christophersmith2470 What's wrong with government jobs?

Mention how people are treated at their jobs. Loyalty is out the window.
That's because the truth is NOBODY paying a living wage is hiring full time.
A $15 an hour part-time job with no benefits is not a real job. Just the truth.
I think it’s time to consider the implementation of a “Universal Salary” 🤓💡
I remember a time when you could find a job in one or two weeks. When the average job seeker needs 15 weeks to land a job, that would suggest the ratio of job seekers to the number of job openings is very high. In other words, there is too much competition for each job opening (on average). The big corporate layoffs in recent months and years also dumped a lot of job seekers onto the job market. Maybe the economy needs more jobs, despite the media's insistence that the "economy is doing great". And if you already have a job, the economy may feel great to you... but once you enter the job market and try to find a job, you might find it takes a long time to find one, as many people have. This is one reason people are choosing to stay at their current jobs longer. This may also contribute to wage stagnation, as companies now have the upper hand in salary negotiations.
I'm in tech and we're hiring like crazy right now. At least with SWEs it seems like the candidates that have been out of work for the longest also trend toward lower performance through the live coding exercises. Mag 7 are very much hiring right now as long as your coding AND engineering clear technical bar.
There's a lot of things people don't know. My msters program has a class where we learn how to break through the ATS systems. These are 20 year old systems. They have so many flaws. For example, people (myself included) love to put the | because it's a clean looking divider for human eyes, especially when you have something like Company Name | Job Title. But thee system get confused by the | symbol, and it will reject your resume every time if you have that in your resume. It has nothing to do with how qualified you are, but that these systems are horribly outdated, and thos who know how to beat them will do great. But most don't.
Appreciate the tip! I’m struggling to find a new role after being laid off after my employer filed bankruptcy.
I think the only way to rapid the job market is having companies to require applicants to take entrance exams if they passed it they go to the interview
@@kristinevans4654 the biggest advice I can give you is don’t make your resume for a human eye. It should be readable obviously, but nothing fancy, no colors, just text, no images, no background colors. All of that stuff can confuse these systems and make your resume rejected. There’s tons of templates online for basic text resumes. You want to follow that because recruiters also want to see a familiar format. Anything that makes them work harder is an easy rejection.
@@frankiecarrrierivg03 I do agree but the problem is there’s simply not enough jobs in most industries for all of the applicants. If they made the system more fair and straightforward, they wouldn’t be able to blame you for not finding a job and then say “there’s just not enough qualified applicants” when “qualified” is vague and means you have a long list of abstract and random skills. It’s a broken job system in a broken economic system. And everything about it is designed to conceal how bad things are so those doing well can ignore how bad it is for the majority of people.
@@heyaisdabomb has this been a trend since Covid ?
The 2 wonderful excuses potential employers are using are the following: we are not hiring now but if we people to draw from when the young people go back to school we will call you. Another is this: There are no job openings for your skill set at this time.
My fiancé never could find a job because she is blind. The favorite excuse at every job interview she had was : We are not hiring (after she showed up because they were advertising for workers). She gave up and started a successful home business.
Most companies go January to December as an accounting period. Do companies typically hire regular employees in the fourth quarter?
I talked to a recruiter who told me she literally posted a job and that it was for formality and that she would submit my application internally. It's about who you know. Did I get the job, no but I learned that the manager picked who they wanted after the internal submission was finalized. I was in the top 4.😂 Strong contacts are important otherwise you'll waste time. Cultivating strong contacts is a luck of the draw though from networking. You never know who exactly knows you or knows about you but when they do and your name is spoken highly of they'll bring your name attention for an opportunity.
It is only get worse as all these sectors laying people off are these comfy office jobs. Everyone will be lying and fighting to get another job like that to sit at an easy job on their phone. Issue, being replaced by automation and the same job is being reposted for half what they were making beforehand.
I recently started a job with decent pay and good benefits but I soon realized they gave me the “North Korea” tour. No coaching or communication, everything counts as a strike against you and quick to fire people.
Break through initial canned responses is one battle. Breaking through canned mindsets that evaluate your interview responses is another. Sometimes jobs aren't buying what your selling... Even though they're claiming they need new talent

Not to mention, our Prime Minister is allowing too many immigrants to come in making Canada becoming overpopulated, and the job market is becoming more competitive, and with more immigrants, the more expensive everything gets.
@@elliottlewis65 Dang. That sucks.
We want the job of these 2 people. High pay, low stress, avg skill. Compare this with programmers, nurses, etc.
Programming is hard to compete with now that jobs are remote, and you are competing with the BEST and the BRIGHTEST in the WORLD!!!
have been looking for work for more than 15 weeks. Oh my, almost 4 months to find a new job? what a tragedy
Its because of HR incompetents doing nothing for weeks and drawing out the process forever andddd adding unnecessary requirements.
This just motivated me to get up everyday to go to work regardless of how tired i am. I'm thankful I'm working
If you check what figures are used to calculate the unemployed, they only include those actively searching for work in a 4 week period. How does the government decide how many people/percentage of the population are actively searching? (?? those drawing unemployment + those applying for unemployment + those actively using a government agency/Worksouce office to job hunt = unemployed???) (not counted= people ineligible or whose unemployment has run out, people who have given up job hunting--including the homeless who are turned down for work, people using non-government employment agencies so their not counted twice) If you limit the parameters used to calculate percentage, statistics can be made to lie/show only part of the truth. 😢
So true. Basically if you factor all of that in unemployment is substantially higher across the board.
I never thought i would be out of work so long i thought i woukd get a job two months then i got a job recently and let me go due to budget cuts? Uh why hire if youre going to do that?
How come no is one is talking about the rise of auto tools to submit an application for people. Wouldn’t this also affect people getting an interview. If the number of applicants has increased, doesn’t this mean more competition?
In Pittsburgh PA almost everyone that I know has a job.
