In the hands of blacks, hispanics and women you racist bigoted white cismale

>>13118769
Remember when blumpf said unemployment was at 40% when stats said it was like 5? Well, it's like that again except now he's assimilated to the mainstream narrative.

>>13118769
Up blumpfs fat mccdonalds ass

Everywhere. I've never seen so many "Now Hiring" ads, posters, signs at all the routine places. Plenty in the $10-25/hr. range. You're just a lazy faggot that thought "more jobs" --> a job is literally handed unto my lap and I don't have to apply myself.

>>13119312
This.

Back to the cagie wagie

>>13118769
I just applied to a admistrive assistant job for 11 dollars an hour with a 3.5 gpa in biochem...

Best part is I had to take a test on indeed for basic computers didn’t see the continue button on the bottom and got two questions wrong. One question was what icon do you click to see the networks or connect to a router...

Feel insulted

>>13119303
This is it. If you've been out of work for 6 months you aren't considered an employable person. If you account for the unemployables, our unemployment rate has skyrocketed under the orange man's sky.

>>13119348
>this is a stem major

LMAO every time I feel down on myself for not going to uni I see people like you on biz and it makes me feel way better about being a hs graduate with no debt making 20 hr

>>13119312
They leave those signs up for months because nobody wants to do a shitty job for 9-10 an hour. Those are teenager tier jobs. The only ones paying over 15 an hour are much more dangerous jobs which also have high turnover, my sister worked at a meat factory and had to quit after she sliced part of her hand. Yeah it paid 25 an hour, but she was pretty much cheating death everyday.

>print a trillion dollars a year
>debt grows 6% of GDP in a year
>shill the fuck out of one month with 3% growth

My income has more than doubled in the last two years but I feel like I'm treading water. 6 fig income can't even get you the house with a wife and luxury car these days, its just an ok income its insane. But inflation is only 2% right? Lmao.

>>13119312
And then you actually apply and they never call back

>>13119335

Yeah, that could be the case, if I was entirely inexperienced and imperceptive and didn't notice the change during the past 3 years myself. Literally everyone is going out of their way to pay advertising dollars. There's a fucking ad banner for Dish right now on this page for me listing "now hiring", on fucking 4chan.

>>13119405

Nope. This is really bizarre cope as a plethora of jobs even at the lower level only helps us all (as it drains labor from the upper tiers).

>>13119438
>nope.
Can you elaborate on this. And what do you mean by "cope"? My job is considered white collar but the pay has been going down for years, it's happening to every job, not just lower tiers. You and I aren't safe just because we're higher up the latter. That's the true cope.

>>13118769
trade jobs have exploded, stop looking on indeed faggot and go to your local union hall

>>13119438
I completely get what you're saying but all of the jobs I noticed constantly shilling that they're hiring are high stress/high turnover jobs. I mean it's great making $20/hr in a warehouse but what the hell are you gonna be doing in 10 years when it closes down?

It'd be one thing if you could save for higher education while working but rent, car, insurance, etc... will make that $20/hr disappear before you know it.

>>13119438
Every job i apply for on indeed has 600 other applicants. "Now hiring" but youre competiting against the world

>>13119492
>we won’t need distribution centers in the future

Kek

>>13119492
Warehousr work pays like 13-16 dollars an hour. 20 dollars an hour is overstated on this site. Few jobs pay that much.

>>13119492
Your timeline is a bit off on warehouses. I've seen the robots at Amazon, we still have a good 20 years before they heavily replace human labor. By then most boomers will be dead and Gen x no longer working if they saved up. The only ones getting fucked are Millenials and especially Gen Z. Seems all too convenient.

>>13119516
They could be automated within the next 10 years with the flip of a switch.

>>13119524
I know a few places paying $20. It's not the mode like /biz/ and /pol/ like to shill but it's not entirely uncommon. Hope you like 12 hour shifts 6-7 days a week though.

>>13118769

At Taco Bell and McDick's. Plenty of part-time work with no bennies (like health insurance), lots of people permanently dropped out of the workforce (back in the Obama years the Wall Street Journal pointed this out every week in response to good numbers, now Trump is pres and they stan for the exact same thing), and specific areas of the country, like the upper-midwest, are still recoiling from the deindustrialization NAFTA gut-punch. And wages still haven't caught up with the huge productivity gains.

>>13119312
This. I'm 32 and what I've seen is honestly unprecedented, I see "hiring" signs on almost every commercial building I drive by-but admittedly employers are still pensive about paying more. Wages are supposedly raising by about 3% consistently month over month but I'm pretty confident this is centralized towards middle-high earners. I could be wrong though.

>>13119353
A better metric then would be perhaps to look at food stamps and other benefits claims which have shrunk afaik

>>13119560
Oh shit what will I as a robotics technician ever do in that case

And no they will not be fully automated

>>13119568
A better metric would be wages which have been stagnated or homeless numbers which are near record highs.
How about happiness? Maybe that will increase after the suicide epidemic passes.

>>13119569
You're missing the point. You're already established, which is great. The point is that entry level jobs are all but gone despite the shilling that it's the greatest economy ever.

>>13119568
food stamps, etc. are down because they made them borderline impossible to get. It's all smoke and mirrors

>>13119553
Really makes you think, huh?

>>13119604
Great so people can go to cc or vocational hs and get a job paying 20-30 hr with no debt at 18-20

>>13119633
This. I tried to get food stamps when I lost my job, and I picked up something online just so I had some money to tide me over, and they said I had no "proof of time spent working" so they wouldn't give anything to me. Even though I worked 40 hours a week and made exactly the income needed to qualify. Food stamps fucking hates self employed people. To get food stamps these days you need to be a single mother with 3 kids working federal minimum wage or some shit. Thank god I don't have to deal with it anymore with my new job.

>>13119633
This is what I suspected. Wages havent budged for most workers despite claims by the drumpf administration

>>13119662
>no debt

How?

>>13119684
CC is free

>>13119701
In America?

>>13119312
Agreed.
You want an anemic job market, wind the clock back 10 years. This is the best I've seen it in my working history.

>>13119633
that's a good thing

>>13119741
It's only marginally better now.

>>13119721
Tuition is 2-5kyr and tax deductions cover the average cost. If you do paynit would be like 1-2k if that but lel grants and scholarships and internships can cover it

Or a shitty part time job

Tax write offs are for like 6k so unless the cc is incredibly expensive like 5kyr it should be free

>>13119864
I'll look into this. I know once you turn 24 in the US federal financial aid options open up that otherwise wouldn't be available. Thanks for the advice fren

there is a higher CoL now, but there is also much more opportunity to afford it

>>13119893
just make sure to do a degree in electronics or IT unless you plan on transferring

Or whatever robotics programs they have

I'm sure loving this recovery.

>>13120399
What do you do for work that you've been in the same position for 10 years and got a 25 cent raise?

>>13120432

>>13120448
Source? McDonalds starts people out at $10/hr now and gas stations around here pay $12-14
I started working in the Recession and it took me 100+ applications to get a shitty part-time min wage job
My area is in the middle of a construction boom that it hasn't seen since 2006-07
That said, it makes me wonder how far away we are from the cycle repeating itself and things becoming even worse

>>13118769
that cuck sure does love those blacks and hispanics. doesn't give a shit about whites being displaced though.

>>13119568

>>13118769
My manager has been trying to hire just two people but hasn't found anybody in the last five months due to the current low-supply of workers and high-demand of jobs

GO FIND ONE YOU LAZY MILLENNIAL, JESUS CHRIST YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING KIDS WANT EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU ON A SILVER PLATTER!

>>13121774
Maybe its due to your manager's low supply of wages thats to blame

>>13120421
And hes orange with comically small hands

>>13121774
fake news. every online job posting receives hundreds of applicants even in this "robust" economy.

>>13121791
See my reply to the post below:
>>13121797
>every online job posting receives hundreds of applicants
You are correct, but a vast majority of the applicants are either complete idiots, or just straight-up aren't qualified. After a couple weeks of searching, I got a few interviews and two different job offers.

>>13118769
They're all for immigrants/H1Bs
>>13118791
>the first jobs to be automated
wew lad

>>13118769
i just wanna know where that full mueller report is

>>13119516
kek to you... why would we need to pay someone to finish the job when a robot can do it better, faster, cheaper?

>>13118769
>rebuilding our military
Was the US military ever in need of rebuilding? USA is the only country on Earth with more than 2 aircraft carriers. In fact USA has 11 of them.

When US "only" had 10 of those imagine someone in the US government thinking that another one was needed instead of using the money on schools, healthcare, roads or literally anything else that would improve the lives of US citizens.

>>13119701
teach me your ways

>>13119312
I’m in cuckfornia. The places I’ve interviewed at need someone with 1-5 years experience.

Looking to starting my own business and skipping their trickery.
