Hmmm. Never? I am going to have to guess 1929-1941 things were worse.
But why? We’re experiencing the longest stretch of low unemployment in 50 years. The economy is booming. There are approximately 9 million jobs open across the economy, or 1.4 jobs for every job seeker. Entry level workers are especially in demand and seeing the largest wage increases. This should be the best of times for job seekers.
So what’s the narrative being pushed by the article? I’d read it but there’s a hard paywall. OP?
The year my son was born in the early 80’s in Vancouver I was basically out of work going from temp job to temp job with gaps in-between. It was brutal.
Financial Times obviously has an agenda.
It was much more miserable in 2008, I’m sorry but that’s the truth.
