Not my point at all. What took 5 people to accomplish in 1975 can now be done with a nut-scratching blowhard sitting in his underwear in his mother's house in Jersey City.

So the world was better when it was inefficient and required you to have a secretary and 3 "assistants" to do your job for you?

Can this thread be locked and started with an incendiary, obama-bashing title by big turtle? I think I'd like that one better.

There are always jobs. There are not always good jobs.
For me it's not luck, it's a carefully constructed wall of impenetrable illusions.

Unfortunately, this isn't always true anymore. I tried to get a 23k job as a Customer Sales Associate with PNC. It took me 4 months just to get an interview and, after I did, still was not selected.

The unemployment rate for college grads is something like 4%.

I recently read an article that said for recent grads of both college and graduate school the unemployment rate is the highest it has ever been. (~10%)

Maybe you just suck as an individual.

I'm learning there's a fine line between freelance and unemployment. Chasing your dream can be pricey.

My daughter can sympathize with you guys. She had a great job in Japan. Then the earthquake hit. We told her to come home and she hasn't found a job since.
The job market is really crappy.

Those were the days.
My old office in 1979 had 11 people in it. Because of technology, it was down to 2 in 1997 and eliminated in 1999.

Not really. There really isn't any need for ditches.

I like my bigturtle threads with extra grammatical errors and some misspellings on the side.

I'd agree, if it wasn't customer service related.

yeah the job market and the unemployment rate or jobless claims are aren't really corelated. I have 14 open positions in my firm and can't seem to fill one.
edited to say 15, receptionist resigned today.

Have we really not learned that the unemployment rate taken in a vacuum is pretty pointless?
