The job market is getting worse and worse by each day. No jobs are available near me. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

I opted to retire from my last job due to it being a toxic environment. 6 months later still unemployed. Trying, but also selling a house, helping my Dad offload his house and find myself a new home in Oregon. Things are tough out there.

Yes. I am experiencing the same thing. I am struggling to find a LOCAL class A driving job for 1 yr now. I have the perfect record. No accidents, great credit, I can pass a drug and background check, doubles, triples, hazmat even a class M. I was an owner operator and have driven over 2 million miles but all of the local jobs that are in my area {Las Vegas} want to pay $17.00 to $23.00 an hr. Even In and Out Burger pays more! This is outrageous! Sure I have dozens of companies reaching out to me but they are driving OTR. I'm already in my mid 50's never married and no children and that's because I can never have a family or a life, driving the lower 48 for many many yrs. I am know one's slave anymore.

That’s shocking! I thought it was only here in the UK that the job market was crap! But in the US also?! This is madness!!!! I’m needing to get a job ASAP as I’m going into my last year at college in August. I need a job for when I leave. I need part time for a year and then I’ll be able to do full time.

I’ve been volunteering for over a year and I worked in a care home for 2 months. Yes, not a lot of on the job experience but that’s not my problem. I wasn’t trained well. I got my pay and weekly hours reduced from the agreed contracted wage and weekly hours.

I’m totally helpless. I’m 18. Yes I don’t need a job. But all my friends are getting jobs. I want to earn my own money so I can do more things for myself. Yes, I get paid form the college but that’s only during term time. Rarely am I paid during holidays.
