Meanwhile all you hear on the mainstream news is "Labor shortage" "No one wants to work" "Companies are having trouble finding talent". This smells like 2008 all over again. Housing market is tanking, MSM is lying about employment numbers. Companies are lying about how many people they are actually hiring. I went through all this back in 08. you'd put in applications and never hear anything back, then the next day you'd see the exact position you applied for listed on the job board again.


Labor participation is still below pre-pandemic levels.

Most labor numbers are dominated by blue collar or service jobs. They are not fungible with tech labor.


The numbers are made up. They always cite "polls" as a source. Strangely enough i've never been polled...
