    Every U.S. age group registered a drop in confidence in the job market after 2023 — following a post-COVID rebound in 2021 and 2022 — but those 34 and younger saw the largest decline in recent years. The share of younger Americans saying it was “a good time” to find a job plunged by 27 percentage points from 2023 to 2025. That’s comparable to the rate of decline for young people during the 2008 global financial crisis, which also saw a drastic drop in confidence for older Americans

    The new poll finds the most frustrated groups of young people are those who haven’t secured a first job yet, college graduates and young women. But the heightened pessimism spreads across all subgroups of younger Americans, including men and those who haven’t attended college.

    Tl;dr: Boomers robbed the future and still think everything is peachy dory while young niggas gotta deal with a volatile job market

    prices doubled in 5 years (2015-2020) then doubled again in 5 years (2020-2025) and are set to double again in 5 years (2025-2030) and double again after those 5 years (hyperinflation)

    Yeah job market is f***ed right now smh. I'm in a crappy position cause my boss sucks ASS. Dude doesn't read/ignores/forgets my notes, on top of that, dude doesn't even know s***, pretty sure he's on an Employee Improvement Plan... but I don't think they're gonna get rid of him.

    But it's VERY hard to find a IT job in my area. Also IT jobs in general are just f***ed up. It's either the same entry level positions (I have almost 5 years xp) or very senior roles were they expect an expert, the mid level roles are pretty much few and far between if not non-existent.

    Everything is so expensive
    A start would be either bringing cost down or wages up. Neither of which will happen if the powers that be have they say

    “Powers that be” can’t really control inflation like that (altho it can be influenced)

    The biggest issue is the triple whammy supply chain shocks of COVID, Russia Ukraine War, and the Iran war in quick succession with no time for supply chains to fully recover in between. This combined with stagnating productivity is going to guarantee inflation, even in the absence of additional money printing and credit formation (which only matters in the first place if the new money and credit are outpacing increases in output)

    Interest rates and s*** will never do a god damn thing to combat inflation. It’s the situation in the “real” economy that matters

    Influence is control

    The three catalysts you call the biggest issue are a direct result of niggas doing s*** that ain’t need to be done to put it simply.

    Those things weren’t done with the intention of driving up inflation tho

    I’m just saying that there isn’t an inflation or disinflation button anyone can push like the guy I was responding to was implying. Inflation happens or not based on concrete historical situations and how capitalisms internal laws of
    motion manifest themselves in those contexts

    You’re right there isn’t a button

    But the “powers that be” are just as informed of the repercussions of their actions based on those same historical situations.

    They are indifferent to the impact of their decisions, which is arguably worse than intentional manipulation.

    Stock market is soaring but the stock market isn’t the economy. The value of the market compared to the money supply is the highest it’s been since the dot com bubble i don’t feel good about this
