A lot of those jobs are return to work after COVID lockdowns. And they even call them NEW jobs. Compare stuff to get a real picture. And also consider employment vs underemployment. People are getting jobs because they MUST but they are not making any real money.
There are a lot of entry level jobs. I’ve been searching since Stanley’s email came out and very few pay a living wage. Minimum wage is $31,200/year. AT&T customer care WFM in the NE is paying $40,000. Horrible.
The numbers "appear positive" , but look a little.deeper and you'll realize the vast majority are sh---y retail and hospitality jobs... corporate isn't hiring..
This is actually seen this as a bad omen. In my opinion, this means folks on the sidelines are now forced to work at low paying wage slave jobs due to inflationary pressures...
These numbers are suspect, ever since they changed what 'unemployed' means.
do you want fries with that?
“ leisure and hospitality led with 232,000 new hires”
So yes there are plenty of jobs that pay way less than what you currently make and it will be (5 days a week) maybe a rotating shift with forced OT and in person at your work location.
See it could be worse!

Yep.. Lots of dashdoor jobs type out there..
tons of "Remote" jobs for tech on Kimble.com, set your profile to receive notifications of remote work job offers.
Lots of jobs being added, not so many well paying ones. Summer jobs mainly. Dig into the numbers and skip the headlines. The headlines are there to push a narrative, do your own research.
Same story with inflation subsiding, well, anyone that’s bought anything knows that’s not true. Prices are way up and even higher than 6 months ago, but headline said decline. Reality was it was a decline in the delta YoY as you rolled back to the previous huge spike. This is what you call a statistical lie.
If you are Employed here..you should be worried, Unfortunately, you can't pretend that you not, as for AT&T ... They bought assets they couldn't afford, and that will be their downfall, a M&A graveyard
Some people always see the glass half empty.
Does time on the job and my pension bridge over? Didn't think so.
