America’s job market is collapsing

  1. Sounds good to rich people, they can now hire people with much lower cost, and start cut down basic human rights for desperate employees, these people can also bring those desperate enough to Epstein Island, just feed bare minimum and the club got new toys. Sounds like ruining an economy only bring benefits to these people, and the best part is they are to one who ruin it.

  2. YOu did not mention ghost jobs or evergreen jobs and you did NOT mention quiet hiring either. There is so many things that you didn't go into. I will need to add how Tariffs and high interest rates keep employers from not hiring. But employers are pushing more work onto their current workers since they don't want to hire. The companies HAVE money – they just want to pay an MBA grad working 5 jobs only $59K a year and no one is going to do that. That's why ACT YOUR WAGE is a thing.

  3. My biggest financial regret in life was A) Not joining the military and learning a trade for free and B) Just learning how to weld outright. You would never be wanting for a job if you simply learned how to weld.

  4. Don’t know how big a factor this is, but one other AI-related issue I’m seeing:

    A lot of sites are losing traffic to AI, which is killing jobs in a different way. If you do product reviews, for example, then your employer probably relies on clicks to generate revenue. But if AI can scrape all your articles and summarize them (semi-accurately) for consumers, then they never come to your site. They just look at the AI summary. Traffic plummets, revenue drops, and your employer lays you off or closes entirely.

    Even if AI can’t do your job, sometimes it can eliminate your job anyway by usurping the fruits of your labor. (The irony being that if AI manages to kill enough jobs this way, AI summaries will stop working. There won't be enough data for the AI to scrape if all the people it used to scrape from are out of work.)

  5. Not a single mention of the hundreds of thousands of H1B jobs filled in 2025? It was more in total for 2025 than there were government layoffs. Did WSJ or any of the other legacy media companies involved with the video prevent you from talking about this massive issue?

  6. Not to mention Linked in is complete trash and literally just data harvest your info and sells it. Most the accounts are fake or bots. Also and just recently was caught skimming data from people browsers illegally. Yes A.I is displacing a ton of jobs. That report was completely bullshit. The job loss will be exponential in its increase. A.I. is affecting every professional job market in the U.S. Once they make the robots better the laborers are gone as well.

  7. The jobs haven't gone "away," they've moved up (to hyper-specialized roles) or sideways (into the "gig" and service economy), leaving the middle-class professional "career" path increasingly narrow.

  8. 17:42 — 👎 wrong headed to conveniently skip over (and thereby normalize) the abnormal levels of excess labor, and then misleadingly label a reversion to normality as abnormal

  9. You're missing a big factor, companies outsourcing current jobs to offshore (i.e. India) and nearshore (i.e. Mexico) for much cheaper labor , even if the quality goes down. Such a well done presentation but you left this out, why? Google did this last year. Oracle just cut 30K jobs via email and are looking into outsourcing their labor. Why did you leave this factor out? I work in a midsize tech company, we are doing the same thing. a PM in the US is like 150-200 USD an hour in tech consulting. The same role in India is 30-40 USD an hour.

  10. They are robbing people, plain and simple. They were selling internet service that they said was faster before they had fiber connection in the neighborhood. They are using 3rd parties to get around everything. How many times have people bought something that turned out to be crap in the last 10 years.

  11. About to be an electrical engineering grad from a good university, A average GPA, skills from laser cutters, CNC machines, lab equipment, soldering, shop tools, 3D printing, kiCAD, autoCAD, freeCAD, I’ve worked my fucking ass off and done so many projects through so many sleepless nights.

    I’ve applied to over 20 entry level EE positions so far paying primarily 55k-70k and still nothing. One interview and 4 rejections. Everyone else is just ghosting me. Idk how I’m supposed to get a job, or how anyone else is supposed to get one. I was told I was in a desirable field, I was told I should expect 75-85k out of school, but it’s all been a lie. I feel like I’ve wasted my early adulthood working towards nothing, sacrificing my social life and health for nothing.
