How are we not in a recession???

[JadeB]

I've been trying to look for new jobs since September and I shyt you not, had no success whatsoever. Nowhere is hiring and the ones that are hiring, I got ghosted or had my offer rescinded. I got an entire job involving auto insurance that nearly hired me before they decided to put the job on "hold". Anything that's not part-time or fast food or retail is a crapshoot and even those fukking jobs is hard to get into as I got rejected from fukking Target and Starbucks out of all places. I got a degree in Public Relations and it's tough to get a job in PR if you don't know anyone and I tried networking with my former classmates and professors and I've been getting the run around. I'm looking at tech too and I heard that there are mad layoffs and that the market is oversaturated. I'm stuck at substitute teaching and doing security on the side for work now. How tf is people supposed to feed themselves and their families and put a roof over their heads if the economy is shyt????

Do you have any children? You may want to consider a career in sales.

We're probably already in one. The way the calculation works, it takes 2 months of the market contracting (plus one other stat I can't remember). It'll probably be official in April or May.

I don't know what keeps you from not giving up in life because those two dikkheads decided to ruin the economy

Yeah, it's frustrating. Just keep pushing through; things will turn around.

We’ve been in a recession we’re just not being gaslighted anymore. It’s not just us, theres a global liquidity problem that’s not going away on its own.

I’ve been applying like you since last year. Only received one offer. Probably applied to over 100 positions. Three total interviews.

shyt sucks out here. Once my compan’s five year contract runs out, I don’t know what I will do. Hopefully I can plug into the govt. when trump is out, I’ll be applying for govt jobs again. Maybe go CIA if I haven’t aged out already.

Keep trying brotha.
