I know many claim things are better but the there are 0.97 open jobs to every 1 unemployed...Businesses are closing right and left..Banks are in trouble, repos are at record levels, Credit Card defaults are at atmospheric levels. Beginning to look like 1929...the beginnings of it anyway...Let them eat cake I guess...
October layoffs Amazon 30,000+ UPS 46,000 Target 1,800 Paramount 1,000 Applied Materials 1,400 Sika 1,800 And many more
Your concern is duly noted.
You must have got kicked off your welfare and unemployment.
Neither never took Welfare and only time was in 2016 when I was lay-off after 10 years of service.
Federal employees had to interrupt shopping from their sofas while they were “remote working”, now that they aren’t getting paid to do so.
Anyway …

This article says the private sector added 15,000 a week.
If you’ve never been fired from a job, you’ve never really worked for a living.
Article states total is subject to revision...
Yes, have read most of that. Housing sales are tanking, but the media (probably paid off by the industry) are not covering it fully. Why is the market (especially the Nasdaq) still going up? Crazy.
80,200 out of 7,000,000
“””If you’ve never been fired from a job, you’ve never really worked for a living.”””
I once quit a job because the boss and I didn’t agree. In fifteen minutes, I had another job paying the same pay ant another company where I became the highest paid person. Does it count as getting fired if you fire yourself?
For October...
Melt up
As I as I had a Contract job making $100,000 plus by day’s end.
While I understand your sentiment, just know that there are those of us who just posted 80 hours of work in the office and various other places with no pay. We’re not all leaches.
Stocks at an all time high.
“””Article states total is subject to revision...”””
It could go up or down. But most likely it will go up. Even if it didn’t go up I wouldn’t be terribly concerned. A large chunk of those let go were government employees.
I just got hired by an excellent company who was only hiring H1b until recently.
