    If unemployment is so low then why can’t I find a god damn job? I’ve been searching since October!

      You can find jobs, just not careers. Lower your standards and their are infinite shit jobs that you can take.

        Dude I can’t even get hired at a grocery store. I apply and apply and apply to all sorts of shit and nobody ever responds. I’ve filled out over 100 applications, and all I got out of that was 3 interviews and no offers.

        It was easier to find work when I first entered the job market in 2008, right after the economy crashed. The last time I had to look for job was right before COVID, and it was easy as hell. Literally applied to 3 jobs and was hired within 2 weeks. What the hell changed in recent years?

          The economy didn’t respond they way “it should have” by tightening… so corporates had to just resort to good old fashioned collusion to teach the workforce they can’t ask for things like hybrid and payraises.

          It’s kind of blowing up in their face.
