Recent college graduates searching for jobs are finding that practical degrees, work experience and even connections are no match for sluggish hiring.

      I have been looking for work for months now and i had no problems in 2009… everything is just so much more and it only seems to be getting worse by the week…

      I think the difference between the 2008 crash was that it never actually stopped. People never recovered, credit debt has only gone up… people are at their absolute limits.

      Covid pushed people further and companies cut jobs increased prices… while supply dwindled but once supply went up prices did not go down.

      While pay has basically stayed the same… and now prices are skyrocketing. Jobs are disappearing or never existed because they got compensation for “proving they were trying to hire people during covid or some bullshit”…

      Ai auto correct is taking peoples jobs now also… not that companies are better off for it but it saves them a buck today…

      So yeah, it’s so much worse 2008 was just the beginning
