The jobs revision story is fun because it has been coming down the road for a little while now. But terminally online leftists did not know about it. And when the news dropped last night/this morning, the comment sections of these articles were full of smug posts about having real proof about how bad Trump is doing.
And every second comment is reminding them that this is almost entirely a correction of 2024's numbers.
This shit was always inevitable, and irony of ironies the youth on both political factions noticed it before anyone else did for the last two decades due to fake ghost listings, H1B holding pattern listings, 100 resumes with no callbacks, and as a result almost anyone that currently has a job has it because of the following for 90% of such cases and don't naxalt @ me.
1.) Being grandfathered in or having seniority or irreplacability. Being the token heritage american who is the last bastard who can work "The machine" or knows how the database coded by a long dead guy works or having training and certs no one ever gives anymore due to "Lack of experience" credential bloat.
2.) Mild nepotism and climbing the ladder of "Guy who knows a guy" networking, I don't mean in the boomer sense I mean being pals or family with anyone in a company and getting a strong referral.
3.) Brand new branch/region/outlet/chain store day 1 hiring. Up to and including "Right time right place" 10 second window hiring.
IE: You had the perfect certs and stats right as they had to sack another guy for god knows what and you were less trouble than putting up a listing.
4.) They managed to start their own business and not die out immediately despite every aggressive attempt to wealth transfer from americans 2012 onward.
5.) Diversity initiatives, being the right checkbox or minimum allowed quota or requirements, this counts for being part of the H1B horde or the token white guy as well.
6.) Revolving door replacement roles, high overturn different face every day jobs, gigs and "App" work are under this umbrella. IE: "You're not even the cog in the machine you're the grease"
7.) HR has a thing for you and I would not wish this doomed existence and sword of damocles on anyone.

8.) Upper middle class "daycare jobs" where it's just women eating salads, having meetings and sending emails in a circle forever,
IE: The holding pattern pasture for CEOs and higher ups to hand pick fiances and future wives or token girlboss figureheads for flack attraction.
