In two years, despite losing millions to death and disability, it went from “no one wants to work anymore” and mythical “labor shortage” to a glut and outsized wages?
Horseshit
Record profits tho..
Salaries are going up everywhere I have looked, at least in Texas. This is a result of the hyper inflation we saw, and now since your purchasing power is lower, and humans have “actual value” because they are not FIAT money, then they now cost more. Its not that they are worth more, its just that the money is worth LESS, so its takes more of it now to get a worker, because that worker now has to spend MORE to get what they were getting before inflation. Its pretty simple actually how all this works. Now if you got paid the same, but you had inflation and your pay didn’t go up, you are getting hosed. Quit. I saw a good 1/3 increase in income offered for office workers here in Houston in the past 2 years.
Houstons problem now is the traffic. Its always been bad but we have a huge problem with the city that authorizes it in that their must be some grift or idiots running it. For instance, we have freeway intersections here that have been under constant construction for 30 years straight and it never gets done. So someone keeps walking away with money to show up and not work.
Where?
>Salaries for new roles are stagnating – and in some cases, falling. Some employers may be looking to cut costs, but the lack of wage growth may be a matter of post-pandemic correction.

>The mass US layoffs of the past few years are continuing. In 2024 alone, thousands of workers across many sectors, including media and technology, have lost their jobs and are on the hunt for new ones. But some are finding an unwelcome surprise as they scan listings for open roles. A salary bump is all but impossible; in many cases, wages seem lower than their previous pay – even for the same jobs.

The BLS can publish whatever wage, inflation and labor fiction it wants to make up, THIS is the reality of Bidenomics, layoffs and stagnated/falling wages & salaries.
When do we get to “reset” profit margins?
Taking advantage of people because they can, not because they must. Just because you can does not mean you should. The economics of assholism. You do not need to be an asshole to profit, that is for profiteering.
Damn near every other kinda pricing is high, but wages? that’s too high gotta lower those /s
I mean, wtf? Inflation is still here. We’re getting fucked is what’s happening. What about the record profits for everyone the last couple years? Fuck these fat cat assholes. Eat the rich.
Well, looks like I’ll be moving into a tent after all. 🏕️
>48% of companies said they have reset pay downwards for some roles over the past year
Alternative healing:
“Majority of companies have no roles listed with lower salaries. Of the remaining companies, most roles are either the same or increased salaries.”
This will keep happening. Testing the limits of us slaves when we will actually do something. Wish I could profit of us too, but I’m also poor and broke lol . Just waiting to die someday shit is hell.

What kind of idiotic shell game is this?
