    Is anyone else concerned that so many people on a techie website are looking for work?

    This does not necessarily mean that all these people are unemployed. It just means they're looking for another job. However, that statistic did make me think a bit.

    There are no jobs. There is a fundamental disconnect between job creators (who never hire anyone) and job seekers (who never find work). We should all pity the poor desperate job creators who simply cannot find that perfect-fit candidate who is a purple-haired lesbian black/latina veteran drone-pilot.

      You jest, but that is what the market demands. It doesn't have to be realistic. But businesses can get in real trouble these days if they don't at least appear to be fighting against the skewed demographics in our profession.

    Sample bias. Everyone with a real job is too busy to post here.

    Civilian Labor Force Participation Rate stands at 63.1%. CIVPART has been wobbling around 63% all year. An unemployment rate of 37.5% among poll respondents is consistent with the state of the economy.

    You want to believe there are tech jobs because of hype. The reality is there are no tech jobs.

      Trump is the greatest president of all time because while the economy fucking sucks ass, it's not getting any worse! All those losers who lost their jobs during the Obama years will never work again, but that's good! Soon they'll all be fucking dead forever!
