it should be illegal to post a fake job!!
@@user-dd2jg6kv8y thx! honestly idk what i would do without u saying that...
@@user-dd2jg6kv8ywhat is wrong with you
Sad but true!
It should be illegal to use worthless pieces of paper with no value as a way to have society do the pointless meaningless jobs that don't mean sht
Agree...that's why I don't send my resume to the staffing/temp firms. They always post fake jobs and call you just to waste your time instead of helping you have a job lined up.
Everybody’s hiring but nobody is being hired!
Agree
I agree
True
Everybody is "Hiring" but no is being hired
My husband is happy in his current role at his current company. He has no intentions of leaving. But he periodically puts his résumé in for intriguing job postings. Mostly to just to have a conversation and learn about the competitors but to also test the waters.. It’s due diligence if you will. Anyway, he is getting less and less callbacks for interviews. We both found this intriguing. Again, thankfully he’s gainfully employed and happy in his current role, but if he weren’t, I can imagine the stress of the job hunt these days.
If he has zero intentions of switching jobs, it would honestly be nice if he doesn’t do that. That one interview just over saturates the market even more, tires out the interviewers and put a strain on people who actually need jobs.
People I know sometimes reach out to me when they see my employees posting their resumes on job boards. For some reason it’s always the underperforming employees that do that so I am happy to help them find the door sooner rather than later. 😂
@@edhcb9359 I can definitely see that side of things. My husband is in a niche where he has a name for himself in his field. He’s highly sought out thank goodness but he has absolutely had a manager approach him when they found out he threw his hat in the ring for a position in parallel org within his same company. His boss ended up “retaining” my husband and now my husband has what I call golden handcuffs 🫠
@@eos_2366 Except things change. He might BECOME interested after learning more. Keep putting those resumes in, people.
If you have a background in healthcare or education you're safe and can find any job. There are some jobs that are recession proof.
Money is everywhere yet sometimes it feels impossible to get.
I applied for 30 positions the past couple months with 0 callbacks. My resume has never looked better too imo.😊
Did you cater your resume to each job?
I know over 200 people who lost their jobs in the past week
I applied to 600 jobs in 2 months that are 1:1 equivalent to my title of 8 years. I’ve been rejected by 72. 6 interviews with recruiters who don’t know what my title means that were hired to hire for that job. 2 revoked their listing due to high number of applicants. 1 recruiter told me they don’t post anymore because their initial posting had 7,000 applicants.
Then you gotta get a new field if possible
Your market sounds saturated.
This is the worst job market since 2009. It would be far worse if there were more people who wanted to be employed. Labor participation rate keeps dropping...
Youth employment rate has steadily dropped since the 90s
Can you blame them? Especially men?
Zero incentive in modern society after inflation to work anymore for men. No money, no life, no assets, no gf or wife, no children, no security or stability.....
Why bother?
I've been watching job listings for a few years. There used to be over 300+ new listings a day on Indeed. Now it's more like 45 to 50. It's dropped a lot on other job sites too. A lot of layoffs. Manufacturing is slowing down, less overtime and second shifts are being dropped.
But at the same time the economy keeps growing according to the government...🎉
Nowadays you need 2-3 skills in 2-3 different areas. Education has always been recession proof; ditto health care. I wouldn't trust tech because it's too cyclical. Tech keeps changing changing. You can be skilled in graphic design, get laid off and there's nothing for you. But if you can code, do graphic design, fix computers, solve software problems, then you're okay. But some techies are grounded in one skill. And they can't be today.
I have also been watching job listings. On Dice, there were 3,000+ new listings a day for C++ jobs. That was a couple of months ago. Now there are less than 200 a day, and usually there are about 40 to 50 new jobs posted per day, most of which are probably ghost jobs. There are also a lot more competitors for these job openings, as a lot of people were laid off recently in the programming industry. Regarding manufacturing... yes it is slowing down, as indicated by the ISM Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) which reflects the number of new manufacturing orders on a monthly basis. That number has been shrinking (below 50) for the last several months, at least. Technically, we are in a manufacturing recession.
@@tmm226 don't ever believe what the gov says
Me and about 100+ people I know all got laid off before and after Christmas- it’s very hard finding a job right now
Wow 😮
If you were more proficient in the English language, perhaps you could have kept your job? PROPER ENGLISH - More than 100 people I know, to include myself, were laid off from our jobs. This happened around the end of the year, and continued into the first month or two of 2024. It is currently very difficult to find a job.
Me and my sister in law have both applied to like 80 jobs. Idk how many interviews she got but I got 4.
On the flip side people are retiring in droves going forward so will be interesting to see how it plays out.
I retired 2 years ago, sort-of.
With inflation rising I retained my residential contractors license and continued services for my good loyal clients.
I personally only work about 500+ hours a year. I don't need to work, but I don't trust this economy.
Not really.....
Let's see how he turns this around on the people this time. The Ramsey team doesn't seem to grasp the current job market/unemployment rates.
If everyone realizes that if we stop playing their game, we win. How hard is that to understand. We are sick and tired of this. Low pay, not many benefits, no growth opportunity, little to no bonuses, etc etc. You're saying 2020/2021 won't happen again? How about we control it like we did during that time? We have all the power, we control the job market, we control what companies do whether they like it or not. Enough is enough, we aren't playing your game anymore.
Agreed this is the prisoner's dilemma both people have to not talk and if they don't talk everyone wins but the prisoners dilemma states that one will eventually crack but both have to keep stale where if they don't talk they both get off the charges. it's going to take a concerted effort to make everyone stop playing the game because if one or two do it then the rest will follow like sheep cuz they are scared everyone is scared of what is not in there Norm to stop working. We are programmed to work for them.
My city just received 100k immigrants desperate to work and willing to take anything so there's nothing us locals can do about it.
Employees do not create jobs. Employers create jobs. If there is no money there won't be a job. If there is money for a job and +100 people apply then they will pay the least amount of money they can and demand the most experience. That is capitalism and supply and demand 101
Unemployment isn't low. They haven't reported the new numbers yet, but it's gonna be bad.
The unemployment rate that is being reported is the number of people who are collecting unemployment. It isn’t the number of people who are healthy and too young to collect Social Security who aren’t working. Thats why the unemployment rate is low, very few people are collecting unemployment.
Home Depot is hiring! I never thought of working there, but they were the one place that would hire me. I guess I got lucky because I thought it was a seasonal position, but it turned out it was a permanent position! I also had a feeling that I would get the job for some reason, and when I had the interview, it didn't even feel like one. I've been there for 4 months now as a cashier, and it's not bad. The only thing you would have to deal with is asshole customers, and when it's slow, it can be kind of boring. Also, if you're a cashier, you will be watched by the Head Cashiers, the frontline supervisor, and the managers. Other than that, anyone can get a job at Home Depot, even if you can't speak English!
I worked a part-time job in the flooring department at Home Depot years ago while I was working a full-time job. I enjoyed being on my feet helping customers as it was a change from my daytime desk job. I don't think I'd mind going back and doing it again.
Nice post! Maybe you brighten the customers' day... esp. the ones who are grumpy. You have a cute smile! I bet you'll be getting a promotion soon!
Only jobs near me are minimum wage fast food or a dollar store where you get 20-30 hours a week, and you're the only employee in the building, and you have to be bilingual to get that!
I've been looking for almost a year it seems every job wants you to have degree and experience.
Instead of just quitting my current job I'm part-time while looking for something else "just in case" new said job doesn't work out whatever that may be.
It’s jobs out there but only part-time jobs with no benefits 😂. What a time to be young!
What if you have no friends or “people” around you??
Start going to church 🤷🏼♀️
You can build your circle if it's really important to you. It takes a lot of awkward moments and the potential to be rejected but most times our coworkers and neighbors are receptive to new olive branches. That's a start imo
Then stop being awkward and weird around everyone and make some freinds....easier said than done yes I know.
Then God. God is on your side because "God help them that help themselves."
@@anishnewton100 I have people around me but they're all broke...
Yes, totally true. After a furlough, I received offers in 20, 21 and 22 from organizations that would have never once looked in my direction in the past. I love my current firm, but I need to make more money. In an attempt to pursue part time consulting gigs after hours in 23 and it's impossible to get in.
Glad I am not in the job market retired in 2007 on SSDI
nice, are you looking forward to when the government defaults on their debt and you are out on the street begging for food?
No way... How could that be in this red hot economy🎉🎉
It's not hard to find a job but the problem is these jobs are paying less while the cost of living are going up. So people have to work harder and longer and spend less in order to pay their bills.
The job market is not "very very good". By design you can even have 100% employment. You have a system that encourages a scarcity/competition mindset. Then there's the ghost job game you mention which is not something to gloss over
Economy is always been this way since 2008
This should make you happy, Ken. It forces more people to return to office!
Ken is my favorite Ramsey personality. I like all of them. Anyone have any clue why George’s channel is growing faster than Kens ?
George is a Millennial. Ken is Gen X
My place is hiring but people can’t seem to stay. They all want top pay. Want to get paid the same as me who has been there for 3 years. Like you can’t make what I make bro. I earned it. You get a starting wage. I think they stopped hiring for my department. I don’t mind because more money for me when it’s raise time
I started working at the factory outside of town paying $15.25/hr about 6 months ago.
Not sure how much they’re paying where you’re at or where the job is located but I can see the struggle faced by my generation and younger.
Home ownership is a goal seen by many as happening decades from now if ever.
The only way to make more money sooner than waiting for promotions at work is to start your own business
Bidenomics baby!
But at least no more mean tweets.
I thank God that there are no more mean tweets. It is such a burden on the world for these Mean Tweets to be spreading
Never say Never!
Alot of jobs available at your local Wendys..🎉
No thanks. Wendy's is a suicidal place to work.
Lots not fake job posts.
The only two jobs actually hiring are trugreen and mcdonalds
I have connected with people but they do not connect back.
I live in a city with approximately 2.5 million in the metro area and we just received approximately 100k unskilled and low skilled immigrants. So for people applying for jobs in trades for example who are not at least a level 3-4 apprentice with good experience they are not finding work right now. For white collar jobs it's even worse. The job market was already bad in my Canadian city with the highest cost of living in the country and very low wages here. Many of my friends are getting jobs down in the USA and moving because the wages are much higher and cost of living much lower. I can't move because you need to be offered a job before being allowed to move or have an in demand skill and sadly I don't.
It is getting harder. At least in the tech market, there is tons of competition. Lots of people stepping down out of leadership are taking entry-level roles and so it's hard to find better work/life balance.
All ya’ll turning this political while I’m out here wondering how has the corporate practices and culture got so horrible.
I just got a job rejection today 2/7/24, to a job I applied in May 2023 😅
I work in insurance and no one is getting laid off
Thinking of getting licensed in a blue collar field as a backup. Tech is going to be a mess in 2024 as well. The layoffs have already started.
Nobody's hiring more people. They're just moving people around. You people quit a job, then start another. That's considered a new job.
70% of these jobs are government and health care.
Business services. construction and manufacturing are the basis of a good economy, their in the tank.
Keep in mind that anyone who stops looking for work after 1 month isn't counted as unemployed.
Middle class and poor people are getting hammered, and I can't blame them for the giving up attitude.
I've lived through 3 of these
78, 91, and 09.
Find a work home to ride this out. This will get worse before there's improvement.
Stack your Sats and XRP folks
Technically, we are in a manufacturing recession. The ISM Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) has been below 50 for several months, at least. This means that manufacturing has been shrinking month after month. Every month, the manufacturing industry is getting smaller and smaller. The trucking industry is also in deep recession. How can you reconcile this data with the government's claim that unemployment is low, and that the economy is doing great?
Unemployment is much higher. I am unemployed and my benefits ran out. I do not receive unemployment benefits . So they are not counting me
Just be blessed to be bringing in some income. Don’t ever get to comfortable, no matter what job you got. It can all end if God wanted it too.
employers have millions of new people to chose from thanks to Biden, it's just a balace of speaking enough english to do the job but not enough to make more than they want to pay.
Right ok bro…
It’s not what you know but who you know. The more hands you shake the more money you make.
I am so glad it's going back to "normal ".
What do you consider "normal" ?
Nothing is normal and nothing is going back. US economy is dead and dystopian

People working for a living.
No "silent quitting" or "we deserve" bs.
Yes you're young Never Say Never
2022 is never going to happen again . But couldn't there be plenty of other catalysts that can cause a substantial swings in the labor markets in the future 🤔. I don't think Lighting bolt theory works here. We need those rates to drop that's the real problem. For now as a business keep cutting and slow the hiring as much as you can until we shift directions. Better start thinking for yourself that's a better conclusion for this clip.
Dude, there is no "Red Carpet" for teachers. Respectfully, can you please clarify what you mean when you say that b/c every teacher I know personally and have seen online is running out of the profession because the job is awful except for those hard as heck to get wealthy suburban schools. Also, don't shill your book as a cure-all. Your boss fired a lady for being pregnant out of wedlock....allegedly.
Who really hiring?
Doordash
@@TheRay1227dooshdash is fascism. No thanks.
McDonalds and every other fast food place
Everyone is ignoring these slave jobs
healthcare
Lower your standard of living. Live BENEATH your means so you dont have to be a slave to any employer. Corrupt government employees getting even richer off of the poor mans taxes. We are taxed to death. Try to become financially independent even if that means forgoing a new house, new car, expensive clothes, etc. Good luck to everyone who is looking for work.
Great advice. 😊
The question people ask is for how long, and it’s a hard question to answer since one is unsure what the future really holds.
It could be for a few months or for many decades depending on factors that many times are outside one’s control: AI adoption in the labor market, inflation rates, regulatory changes, corporate profits, and so forth
You have to be in big city. You’re screwed in the small towns
Lots of new job openings: Stock relocation & resale engineer (AKA shoplifter)
The unemployment rate is not low. The person collecting maxed out their benefits & no longer can collect
A better metric to compare instead is the labor participation rate, this shows how many people of adult age that are not incarcerated or retired actually work
This reached its peak back in the early 2000s and has continued to drop ever since
And Blue Collar workers still getting money 😅, Thank the Good Lord for that . We will always be needed
Ken is totally out of touch....... It's been extremely difficult to get a job for a decade plus....wow so all of this was an add for a book.
Get your CDL problem solved
Oof, ghost jobs
Capitalism is severely broken due to no livable wages. I stopped being productive for evil capitalist businesses from age 20 to age 40. I have NOT been given the dignity I deserve as a spiritual human being. From 40 and on; I will only be self sustaining myself as much as possible and taking as much as I need into old age. IF I had been paid livable wages of $33/Hour since my first job, this would never have been the case. US economy owes me anywhere from $600,000 to $1.5 million in stolen wages ( cheating me of my livable wages by lopping off most of my value and treating me like a servant ). Now I will squeeze everything I can get from society while living off the grid and you will feel my rage, my pain and my distain for your stupidity!
Don’t be a victim please
Get off your ass and learn some skills. Marketable people get jobs, lazy people having excuses for not moving themselves forward do not.
And Bidenomics keeps telling you the economy is great and is growing… lol
8 minutes just to tell us to brown nose, which everyone already knows about office politics.
This guy has no idea what he's talking about. Seriously.
LAST DAYS PROPHECIES ISRAELITES (SO-CALLED NEGROES SCATTERED EARTH-WIDE (Deu 28:68) AND GENTILE HEATHENS (NON-ISRAELITES):
2 Esdras 15:16-19
[16] For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
[17] A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
[18] For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.
[19] A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.
People have been predicting "the last day" for hundreds of years. Chill out.
The economy is sooooooooo terrible and disturbing that as a homeless person with no job ( thousands of rejections for applications ) I am forced to hand clear land I bought, create my own stable foundation by hand and soon make my own logs to hand build a log cabin home just to have a roof over my head. Mortgages and gouged rentals are criminally insanely high and nothing in America is affordable anymore. I am going to have to grow my own food too because I can no longer afford 99% of food in grocery store or its poisoned with bioengineered fake ingredients. First time ever I will most likely be using food pantries until I die. No longer interested in participating in capitalism the dumpster fire 🚫🚫🚫. I have almost no money and I no longer am playing the fake game of destitution and slavery and being decieved! Let God and Mother Nature provide for me. Everything else is trash. Including 90% of humans on realm Earth. The last 30 to 40 years of my life are only for me. Let the wealthy criminal class eat poop.
Plus, as a bonus, you get to get drunk and high all day!

Most real jobs just doesn’t bring the dates and the prestige as it used to generations ago, the only thing it serves for most is just as a means to an end: a paycheck to survive in modern America
That’s why most people hate their jobs on top of the shenanigans dealt with at the job site
I was wondering if its just me, because ive never had a problem getting a job, now I have been looking for about 4 months and no luck....
I subscribe to Flexjobs and it’s a waste of money. Never got a job interview
Get a job , any job make yourself look useful, not useless there are 1000s of jobs out there even if its a job washing dishes .
