Its shocking, shocking I tell you. Who knew? No one could have. Our best and brightest didn't see this coming.
Who's to blame. The nameless rich(that pay the bureaucrats to say this) I tell you. The terrorists. Those greedy bitcoiners.

We are in for a big future.

Before market crashes happened every 10 years.
Now it is happening every 3 to 5.
Its messed up!
I feel the millennials are getting screwed.

That's just seeing things as they stand. Reality is uglier than most governments declare.

It's a very strange labor market right now (and it has been for a long time now). There are lots of high-paying entry level-ish jobs being advertised and yet people are working multiple low-paying part time jobs instead.

I guess it really depends on the individual.
Some places I work, the people there dont have a clue what they are doing.
They are just a warm body filling a position!

Yeah, it's some sort of mismatch between supply and demand. There must be a ton of people who just aren't capable of doing a challenging job, regardless of pay.

Some people really struggle.
There are a bunch of good jobs, and companies do take chances with employees...then they just dont show up after their first paycheck.

One issue might be that its become very difficult to fire people, so firms are very reluctant to hire anyone. It makes sense that they'd need to offer high wages to attract applicants who are clearly worth hiring.
