In 2008 there were millions of people laid off because companies saw demand topple. But when some demand was restored, they didn't rehire those workers, why?
Make your current employees work harder (I saw this try to play itself out at my old job) for the same pay and bring in more automation, like at Amazon warehouses.
So while I get EBT and won't take stupid jobs, the reality is even dumb jobs like cashier are not in my area and since I don't have a car, using public transportation isn't possible, it's actually unreasonable.
Plenty of people in the same circumstances, that's why SSI-D applicants have skyrocketed. These are mostly people that have exhausted their unemployment benefits.
Enrollment in to all sorts of secondary education has never been higher, but that hasn't resulted in more jobs being offered. Sure there some fields that are short on workers but the majority of them are in parts of the country nobody wants to live.
Recently I saw a story about couples not divorcing but actually living in two residences as many are choosing to make it work even if one spouse is working in another state or even another part of the country.
Americans are/have adjusted to the crisis but the suffering continues, so its NOT the workers fault. The system has been changed (over time) to put you under its thumb.
The more I think about this, the more I like it. I am on page 334 of 1020 on my Java bookVoice of Reason wrote:That's a very smart idea.zacb wrote:I am starting to wonder if I should look for jobs elsewhere in the state. IDK. Perhaps after the year after this, I will take a year off and work someplace down state. Right now, there are only 125 listings on indeed. I have applied for quite a few. In the mean time I think I will develop my Java skills.
It's all relative:
If you are employed you can earn money to put in the bank to save up for going overseas (and once overseas, start learning a marketable skill).
If you're unemployed you can use the time that you otherwise wouldn't have to hone in on marketable skills, which can earn you income online while you are overseas.
First, use these skills to freelance. Then, some time later, apply these skills to your own business when you come up with a good idea.
. Learned all the basics (I think XD ). What do you think if I have a million ideas for apps or such? Should I market them, or just try freelance first?zacb wrote: The more I think about this, the more I like it. I am on page 334 of 1020 on my Java book
The only problem with ios is that I believe you need a Mac in order to program for it (last I checked). But since I am kinda in love with Android, I ill definitely. I am also considering the Microsoft infrastructure (which includes Xbox, Windows Phone, and Mono, which can run cross platform on ios, as well as a few other systems), but the only problem is I would need to learn C#, which I might learn after Java. So yeah, I am on board. Now just to Finish learning Java and to then learn Androidmomopi wrote:zacb wrote: The more I think about this, the more I like it. I am on page 334 of 1020 on my Java book
If you have lots of ideas for apps, you can get iOS and Android SDK, or alternatives like Buzztouch and Game Salad. If you want to be a java developer, check out Atlassian web site. They have a marketplace for devs to sell plug-ins, and many plug-ins stop working after a major revision of the software. However not all devs are avail (or still around) to update the plug-ins, so that's a possible niche where you could look into.

If you happen to see a lot of people complaining about a certain plugin that won't run on latest version of JIRA (or confluence or whatever) and the dev is nowhere to be found...
.I have already learned about stocks, gold, and silver. Now just to learn the entrepreneur part more.SilverEnergy wrote:Get your certifications in stuff like Comptia Security. They have inexpensive study guides.
Also if you can, learn how to become an entrepreneur and an investor, then you won't have to complain about not finding a job.
When real workable options have to compete in the idea space against suggestions to engage in seduction or fraud, because doing some grunt work or getting their hands dirty is considered too slow or for suckers, there's not much you can do but step back and shake your head.djfourmoney wrote: True...
I gave some suggestions they were ignored, which I am not surprised. One of them is an opportunity to be self-employed, but nope.
Temp agencies wouldn't be of much help. All they do is get you interviews, which I can do on my own.Winston wrote:Why don't you just go to a temp agency like Kelly Services or Manpower? They've always gotten me work whenever I wanted it.
If there are hardly any jobs left, then why do the classifieds of any US newspaper or internet job board always advertise so many positions? Am I missing something here?
Do you not get not yet? all free and open markets are being rigged and manipulated, either you get connected to the credit monopoly mafia or you are on the outside looking in.SilverEnergy wrote:Get your certifications in stuff like Comptia Security. They have inexpensive study guides.

That's not true. Go visit them and you will see. My temp agencies just gave me jobs and assignments and told me where to go. They don't send you to interviews.Jeremy wrote:Temp agencies wouldn't be of much help.

Keep in mind those jobs advertised online either have very specific requirements or no requirements at all (in which case hundreds of people will apply).
Anyway, it doesn't matter now. I finally landed something (only because I had this job in my teens).

While he does not speak for everyone, I think this is general libertarian thinking. And while of course we would argue that the more welfare there is, the less generally people work (ie France). But I believe that libertarians would attribute this to poor economics, then due to millions of people being lazy (and the arguments about people being lazy generally apply to the welfare queens).
