Nice to see people are finally paying attention. Only took over 2 years of unemployment to start seeing some acknowledgment. Won't change anything since this administration could care less.

My unemployment was exhausted in January 2024. Thousands of applications. Job market is dead in the water and has been since 2023.

"Employers overall continue to hire at a solid clip". Hire or post fake jobs to project false growth? How many roles were actually filled?

Can't wait to see how this plays out. Now, i feel reassured and confident that my 2 year job search and thousands of applications will come to an end. I'm sure the future job numbers will reflect the reality. Fucking hell.

That's not really a fair assumption that if you're unemployed you're just laying around and doing nothing or just coasting.

@maddow.msnbc.com how many were fake job postings? I'm at 2 years unemployed and thousands of applications. This isn't normal.

Since my team was eliminated in 2023, no one has been reporting on what is actually going on in the job market. Ghosting, etc. I'm at 2 years unemployed and thousands of applications. And now it looks even worse, if possible. Blatant lies. Unreal.

Thanks. I appreciate that. What's funny is during the great resignation, my coworkers were trying to push me to jump ship. So i didn't even get to partake in that but get to share in the punishment.

Can we talk about how many jobs are actually filled? Majority of jobs are fake.

Based on how little anyone talks about how bad the job market is and has been, curious how this one will play out.

And who you know isn't even foolproof. Not everyone has a strong network and LinkedIn wants to monetize networking. I'm 2 years unemployed and thousands of applications. Can't even get freelance work. I've never experienced anything like this.

Can we please stop regurgitating the same information? The job market is dead in the water. The jobs that are created are most likely fake. I'm at 2 years unemployed and thousands of applications. I'm not the only one. There are 40 million people in US who have open to work banners on LinkedIn.
