My brother... had been unemployed for a very very long time. I’ve bailed him out for about 8k already. Single, no savings. He just got a position with a local college in admissions and had to have some strings pulled for that. He said he tried grocery stores, retail, anything...he was college educated and over qualified.
I am not sticking up for him because he created his situation and he knows it. (he’s had 6 jobs in 14 yrs) BUT it is tough.
Yeah I understand where you’re coming from.
The Baraqqi Depression has not only created a huge number of unemployed, but also a huge number of underemployed eager to find better opportunities.
And from what I hear from folks (I’m recently retired myself) a lot of those with jobs are being worked like rented mules because employers have all the leverage right now.
