I am not sure what to make of this.
My personal observation is that people are being laid off from high-paying jobs and being hired for low-paying jobs.
People who have not worked in quite some time are getting hired.
The number of fake job postings is down. If a job is advertised, it seems more likely that somebody will actually be hired for that job.
There are still in excess of 100 applicants for any job that appears to pay upper income salaries. Recruiters are still bitching about the poor quality of the applicants. I still have no sympathy for recruiters.
My sample size is very small. It is too early for me to be certain of any trends.
Many people are failing to adjust to the new economy. Today’s conditions are the best opportunity ever to WORK FOR YOURSELF. Computers and AI multiply you into a work force equal to many people. There are 30 year old millionaires out there who have figured this out.
Working for someone else is the road to mediocrity. Here’s why: You can never be paid 100% of what you are worth by yourself. That’s because your employer HAS TO MAKE A PROFIT OFF YOU after paying you.
