It’s similar, yeah, but this time around, the job market’s uneven, almost unfair. In 2008, everyone was out, so there was less shame. Now, it’s like “why not me?” vibes. People survived by shifting fast, pivoting careers, starting side hustles, and even taking jobs they were overqualified for, like now, but as I said, almost everyone was doing it.
I think comparing today to 2008 is apples:oranges. There's talk of a recession, sure, but the real thing hasn't happened yet, and the economic misery isn't being felt on anywhere near the same scale. As to how people survived, they did all of the same things those without jobs are having to do today: cutting expenses, working side jobs, moving back in with families, etc.
What's happening now isn't technically a recession, though some people have referred to it as a white collar recession. The job market is bad, but things could get worse. If the tariffs and trade war push us into a serious recession, it will be like something a lot of us haven't experienced.
I was also in college so I don't even really remember it. I don't think we are in a recession yet but it sure feels like it. Things have gotten so freaking expensive.
