US Chamber of Commerce doesn’t exactly seem like the most impartial source…
Probably because these companies keep playing hard to get (archive version).
Yeah, people have forgotten what a fuckin apocalypse was happening as of like not that long ago
Mostly just posting some accurate information for context
I also am implying yes that the metric of “number of Americans who are looking for a new job regardless of whether or not they’re currently employed” is kinda bullshit
And by implication that posting this article in this particular way (with its implied incorrect meaning of “searching for a new job”) is likewise bullshit
“Unemployment” as a metric is actually bullshit also, for a couple different reasons, but this article I think is probably substantially worse
Chaff
Employment metrics are all bullshit anyway. Who actually wants to be used (aka employed)? Who actually wants to waste their life serving capital?
We need to stop acting like “full employment” is a good thing and instead demand a 4-day week (at most), maternity/paternity leave, extensive vacations, livable wages, public health/welfare, etc.
Looking for a part time help desk to no avail (I’m a full time student)
