This economy for jobs is crazy. You can’t even switch opportunities because you don’t what or how long it’s going to take. This world is gettin scary. It used to be easy to grab a job. Now it’s like 100 people for one job who gonna get it. These jobs are lazy anymore and leave it up to the computer to choose.

The job market is always cyclical. I’ve been in way worse job markets before. It will eventually get better.

That may be so, but it’s different for the younger generations in their 20s-30s (and even 40s). Older generations have already been through similar situations (especially baby bloomers) and should/already know how to prepare. The younger generations just got here and are trying to figure it out. And a lot of us without much help.

This happens all the time. As VP1 says, it's cyclical. In a year or two things will swing the other way and you'll be choosing among jobs. Right now, companies are testing to see how many employees they need to handle the workload. This happens with every major technology shakeup (computerization, Internet, AI)

Another thing happening is companies posting fake jobs, which exacerbates the problem. You might be applying to 50 jobs, but only 20 of them are actually hiring someone.

You vote for Kamala, and the job market will remain terrible. She and Biden give out free money to everyone and the companies are taxed. As a result, they cut back on staffing which is the greatest cost that companies have. their prices go up also, so less customers. I am not a Trump fan, but better than Kamala, handing out money like it’s free and supporting 15 million illegal migrants. Vote using logic, not emotion

I feel that, I've applied to so many jobs and get turned down or don't have the experience or degree, like seriously why post your hiring then not hire me when I would be the best employee cause I actually do the work and get things done, I need a full-time job with benefits and it's so hard to get one.
