Well, the thing is that there really is no way to know how many of those jobs are actually real. Believe it or not, many companies post fake jobs to sell the illusion of growth.

A huge problem with these stats is that they do not distinguish between full-time jobs and part-time jobs. And over the years in all sectors of every industry compaines have removed majority of full-time positions and made them part-time or contract based , i.e. hiring many more employees but paying each employee significantly less than ever before. Meaning that in terms of stats these companies are hiring way more people and more people are employed compared to unemployed but part time jobs only offer survival wages hence the constant job search. Perfect case studies of this phenomenon are Walmart, Starbucks and Tim Hortons. Similar trends have happened in the entertainment industry where many companies don't hire full-time and either outsource to other countries or only contract freelancers for a few weeks and extract 6months worth of work. This applies more to videographers, editors, photographers but its also happened to artists, writers, costume designers, production designers with the current online streaming business model. I have heard similar things about music industry.

4th year at a mid size PI firm. Got pulled from litigating MVAs to help this solo we hired start a med Mal/nursing home practice. 1 year in and it looks like I’m two steps backwards in terms of getting paid because we’re a year or more out from a lot of the fees hitting. I respect the solo a lot, he’s a mentor, but I’ve got kids and I gotta get paid. Trying not to burn bridges, but I can’t wait years to get cut in. Advice?

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
