YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Judging by current data, you’d think there’s literally a job out there for anyone who wants one. Looking deeper under the hood, though, tells a different story.

Since the beginning of 2024, job openings have outnumbered hires by more than 2.2 million a month, according to BLS data that points to “ghost jobs” that never seem to get filled, as job seekers have become frustrated at not being able to find new positions.
