I think it's a pretty good data source myself. I don't see why anyone would bother applying to jobs if they didn't want them.
unemployment only last a few months at best. what are people not working doing? living on EBT?

I don't see why anyone would bother applying to jobs if they didn't want them. it shows thousands of people are applying to each job. the media says no one wants to work but from people i've talked to and the data i have says different. i think unemployment is actually increasing and they are sweeping the numbers under the rug as always with their fake/joke labor stats numbers. the reason why though does interest me. are they doing it so people don't panic? bad labor news makes stocks go down etc.

I would be careful trusting anything celebrities say, no matter how on your side they appear to be.

something doesn't add up here.

If you've been paying attention to the news lately you have probably been hearing a lot of talk about a "labor shortage" and how companies just can't seem to find workers blah blah blah. I was out of work for about 4 months after i had to leave my last job and finally managed to find a temp job to keep me going until i find something permanent. But i got an interesting email the other day from indeed, indeed is a job board for those that don't know. Anyway, it had a list of a few jobs i had applied to but didn't hear anything back from, but the interesting thing i found is it also listed the number of applicants that also applied for those same jobs. What i found shocked me a bit. over a thousand people had apparently applied for some of these positions listed.
To me that kinda shoots a hole through the hole "labor shortage" myth. seems like there are plenty of people out there applying for jobs and companies just aren't hiring them.
