Unemployment is at about its lowest level in 55 years. The tech industry, took advantage of the pandemic's crazy spending and focus on online services, to hire more than it needs, at times to the tune of 2X-3X more than it needs. Creating a situation where employees were spending the bulks of their time doing nothing. Worse, they were "working from home", but in reality hitting the AirBnB scene, traveling and screwing around doing nothing, and collect paychecks.

The tech industry had to come to terms with it. They didn't lay off all the extra weight. Nevertheless, anyone who knows what they're doing in the tech space now, has a job, or can find a job.

The retail picture is changing in the US. Mid-to-Large downtown areas, have been experiencing major changes in the past few years, accelerated by the pandemic. The downtown commuting is going away, to be replaced by clusters of multi-residence developments clustered around urban sprawl, taking away with it the "downtown" retail space.

Restaurants's only problem, is that restaurant owners cannot find enough workers to keep their restaurants operating efficiently. Check against your unemployment claim.

Wow, this is revelation. As if this has never happened in the USA.

Anything factual you'd like to report on?

@Northwest Northwest. Now you are a smart guy. Well at least done of the time. But do you really believe that the [b] real [/b] unemployment numbers in the [b]US[/b] today is at 3-4 percent. I mean seriously.😒

I employ people, specifically in the tech space, and I can't find enough people to fill some of the software development position I have open.

I walk around time, and I travel extensively in the US. Nothing but help wanted signs, wherever I go.

If you have data, as opposed to whatever flavor of bullshit you're spreading, that says the unemployment is higher, then do share. I'm not going to wait up.

@Zonuss Actually, this guy has shown me more than once he knows what he is talking about. The issue is what is counted as unemployment. Typically that does not count the unemployable, or those voluntarily without jobs. For those who want a job and are capable of working one, I know of nobody without a job. Sure some are underemployed, and I know a few that are unemployable mostly for mental health reasons. But, I trust the 3-4% based on how things are traditionally counted.

@Northwest Data. I talk to [b]real [/b]people every day. You're misinformed about what's going on in this country as usual. 🙂

@trollslayer I know people out of work. I know of people who are [b]refusing[/b] to work. Wages too low for many now for them to even keep up. That doesn't give [b]Biden[/b] any leverage going up against [b]Trump. [/b]
