I’ve been out of work for seven weeks with no relief in sight. But I’ve been watching my industry laying off tens of thousands of people for months. I’m not surprised in the least to find myself in this situation. Meanwhile, I’ve also seen unions winning big for the last couple of years.
I’m personally doing poorly, but overall things are looking up and my turn will come around again before long. I just have to wait for things to return to normal after a bubble pop.
The layoff was due to the college I worked at going under and closing. The vast majority of coworkers in my circle are still unemployed after all this time.
People act like its so easy to get a job, but it seems impossible in rural America especially.
The solution just can’t possibly be everyone working in food or labor.
The same people who are in this thread saying that everything’s great because 60% of the people who responded to the survey say their conditions have improved.

Laid off about 9 months ago. Its doesnt get better. My options now are fast food or labor.
And if you haven’t worked in a warehouse or fast food recently they often tell you to get fucked anyway!
As if that isn’t proof enough that these are skilled jobs.

Addition: Bruh who would downvote this?

Which is crazy because 40% is not a small number of people who havent seen improvement.
