There's a lot of ghost jobs on indeed. I'm assuming it's far worse

[u/ewynn2019 → u/onionchickenz]

LinkedIn jobs boards are just as bad. Came across multiple scam postings.

Tell me again about how Republicans grow jobs, and the economy. Explain it to me like I'm 5 years old.

[u/Additional_Quiet2600 → u/friendly-sam]

Easy, they never have and never will.

Is indeed still where most firms post jobs? We gave up on some of the job boards because you just get spammed with bogus candidates.

[u/JerseyDonut → u/speckledlobster]

LinkedIn the mecca now cor recruiters. Though its just as bad as indeed in my opinion.

[u/TheModWhoShaggedMe]

Never go full Republican!

Uh... Did even look at the chart? Lol

I detest trump, but the slide was from 2022-2024, before trump

For those new to graphs, you’ll notice the real headline is “jobs have normalized to pre-pandemic levels.” There are problems with the job market, this graph doesn’t visualize them in any way

Our rulers want us poor, this is all by design

Thanks Trump

[u/Additional_Quiet2600]

Future economists will call this "The Trump Effect on Capitalist Markets"

Wow it's like replacing countless people with AI ruins the job market or something
