  1. NOBODY wants to hire half of the millennials or generation Z out here. They’re not very hirable due to their mindsets and thin skin. So yes these companies are hiring but they are only hiring a certain type. Dependable. So they’ll give the undocumented workers the work instead.

  2. Most are young people with no work ethic who’ve become use to sitting around watching YouTubers and content creators make a load doing much of nothing but talking and it’s ruined the fabric of the work force. They’ve all quit to be Uber drivers.
    The gig economy has replaced everything.

  3. Changing to a minimalist lifestyle cut out the need for a 9-5 job. Sold my vehicle and a lot of the stuff I never really needed. That gave me the startup capital to get an online resell business going. It was stressful at first, but within 3 months, the business is self sufficient and I have 3x the money I made at a dayjob.

  4. It doesn't feel like companies are EGAR to hire so much as it feels like companies are ONLY placing wanted ads and then not hiring anyone to keep their wages down, less people to pay. Companies are realizing that 2 people can do the work of 3 or 4. So they're just running on 2 people to save money.

  5. We always hate the abusive elders for not telling us it was a reflection of self. And tricked us into using the internet that wasnt private. In our corporate open air prison. They spy and harass us based off the comments etc. Never was fun. We have to pretend

  6. Not me. Hola from. Queretaro

    I remember.

    Prayers for the world
    End near
    Hola from Queretaro.
    Not me. for I moved to Mexico in 2021 at 79. It is less expensive and safer but you still must be alert, and do your homework.

    Retirement or online income is the
    best way to support yourselves

    Bring only one suitcase and a backpack
    Pay to have your stuff removed.
    Do not sell or give away due to criminals.

    Move to Mexico.

    God is in charge , and he has the weapons of mass destruction.
    He will end all this evil around the world, USA will not protect USA citizens.
    Our money is being stolen.

    Move to Mexico

    Allah u Akbar.
    . Praying for the world
    All lives matter

    All lives matter.
    Happy I moved to Mexico in 2021 at 79.

    RIP Everyone,

    The greedy are stealing our money.

  7. Why are women always given a badge of honor when they choose to work as reported "she marriage, motherhood and career "but her husband did nothing NO HE CHOSE MARRIAGE FATHERHOOD CAREER PROVIDER PROTECTOR

  8. NO ITS A GOVERNMENT PROBLEM HIGH TAXES AND INCENTIVES TO SIT AT HOME COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT laziness WHAT PEOPLE DON'T RELIZE IS THAT OFFICE IS RENTAL SPACE COMMERCIAL RENTAL WHICH REQUIRES MAINTENANCE ENGINEERS CUSTODIANS HVAC TECHS.IF WE CONTINUE THIS TREND THEN COMMERCIAL RENTAL GOES AWAY LOSE OF JOBS BY THE WAY WHILE WORKING FROM WHEN THAT AC/HEAT AIN'T WORKING YOU CAN'T CALL THE MAINTENANCE ENGINEERS, CALL THAT CONTRACTOR

  9. Because it aint no way to live. All these jobs ive had are so boring and exhausting that i just want to not exist. And when i have free time im to tired to enjoy it or go do something. Not to mention you dont make enough to afford anything

  10. I am still looking for a real job. I do like my side driver job. However, it’s only a side job. Very hard to find a real job after 54. I hope the job and economy gets better👍I did get hired at a nice department store retail. Seasonal. However, I don’t like the commission part and many customers are not buying much mens or womens clothes 😨

  11. I highly recommend don’t have children, keep your life simple, no need to keep spending buying junk you don’t need, question why you think you need to buy what you think you need ..
    You don’t need new a big house, trust me , you don’t!!!

  12. People are tired of abusive corporations who dont share their profits with their employees, who overworked them and underpay them. High health insurance premiums where Health insurance in the US should be abolished because is USELESS. Employees dont get paid sick days, I guess people are sick of the corporate and government abuse. I just can figure out how are the paying their bills if they are not really “working”. How can they buy food? medications? etc.

  13. Jesus christ what a bunch whiners. Removing trees in sub zero termpatures and thunderstorms, delivering pizzas in state of emergency, cleaning interior of tanks that is 120 degrees and need to drink 5 gallons of water to survive, getting nose bleeds from the stress from the manufacturing jobs, list goes on and on. This is HellForce in Hell.
