A sudden shrinking of healthcare job postings. I wonder what could’ve caused that.
I thought the fields were going bad because of the lack of workers? I didn’t click the article, just going off of the title.
This is a temporary shock due to the abduction and terror inflicted on farm workers. It’s not necessarily representative of the economy as a whole.
Haha, yeah… temporary.
Well if the crops are going bad, you don’t need to hire the truckers to move the produce, you don’t need to hire the grocers to sell the produce, and you don’t need to hire the chefs to cook the produce.
The article doesn’t address this though, rather:
Job openings decreased in health care and social assistance by 181,000, in arts and entertainment by 62,000, and in mining and logging by 13,000.
Which doesn’t say that it’s directly related. Health care and entertainment jobs reducing is probably more indicative of Americans spending less on discretionary spending either because of economic hardship or the expectation of economic hardship.
Mining and logging losses could be tariff related, or possibly in response to softening demand for primary inputs.
I’m tired of all this winning.
The american job market is dead and everyone knows it. There are no good jobs to be found, and if you do find one, you are competeting with thousands of others for the same position.
I’m terrified to lose my job, i’ll have to go back to retail and i will be denied because i have too much experience and they would rather hire someone with 2 years experience instead of 15.
America is crumbling and about to collapse and the media and employers are doing their best to act like nothing is wrong and everyone is happy!!!
*Available jobs statistized here primarily ‘synthetic jobs’ posted to give the illusion of growth
