The U.S. Job Market Is Very Broken—And No One’s Talking About It While the official numbers paint a rosy picture, if you dig deeper, the reality is alarming. After the Great Financial Crisis, 8 million jobs disappeared—and never came back. Many workers who lost stable employment didn’t retrain, didn’t “learn to code”—they simply left the labor force. Others were forced into the “new normal” jobs: Uber drivers, Amazon warehouse workers, and gig labor with no benefits or stability. Here are some worrisome indicators: -Net hours worked per employee: At a 15-year low -Net hiring (NFP growth): At an 9 year low -Consumer confidence: Near a 10-year low -Labor force participation rate: Hovering near a 40-year low That last stat is critical. The workers who lost their jobs in 2008-2010 didn’t “reskill.” Many simply gave up, scraping by on whatever subsidies or low-wage work they could find. The real unemployment rate isn’t 4%—it’s likely closer to 9% when accounting for discouraged workers and those stuck in low-quality jobs. Still skeptical? Look at staffing companies— reliable labor market bellwethers. Many are struggling, with stock prices near 10 year lows. That’s a major warning sign for the broader economy. The U.S. must prioritize real job creation—because right now, it’s the only thing keeping the economy from tipping into a deeper recession. And we are literally teetering on the brink. #jobs #hiring #hiringnow #unemployed www.Biohire.org?
