You won't get a job in 2025

You're right!

​@@LaborGainsmy brother showed me his last pay stub and it was like 3,000 bucks that's prolly his mortgage and some bills he better enjoy it while it's there. But me on the other hand can't find a job no one is hiring alls they're doing is group interviews oohhhh we'll call you back and never hear nothing from them or they'll tell you they're moving on to the next applicant

Dont stress there luck will be over. Wave of layoff coming 2025

[@veronicafuller4353]

This is why I don’t take my job for granted and work very hard and keep to myself.

[@Xaqq777]

Hey Veronica, I too, worked very hard to keep mine. However, for reasons outside of my control was let go in March. I am yet to find a job, not only like it, but any job of which I may have seen as below me. I just want you to always consider the possibility because by all metrics, I should not have been let go and even had our tier 3 guy leave that place even faster after he saw what they did to me. So just always be prepared, which is ironic too, because nothing can prepare you for this job market

[@LaborGains]

That's wise.

[@leedolian4482]

I legit feel bad for people in tech. You guys were paid a good amount then got automated. I hope you eventually get a job.

You’re competing against millions of cheap immigrants, and it’s gotten to the point that the HR people and managers are immigrants too that would prefer to hire someone that speaks Hindi.

[@LaborGains]

I am so sorry to hear that. You're not alone. Thank you for the comment.

[@jasmineisshorter]

That’s a wild video title. There is nothing wrong with putting your faith into God and staying optimistic. Never say never! I will however say that Indeed is a scam. Switch up your job search platform or apply on the main company websites.

[@LaborGains]

Indeed is definitely a scam these days. Thanks for the comment.

[@-CC_.Puppets-]

I do agree that i have seen lots of tech and engineering jobs around me all going to Indian people who barely speak english. The warehouse I'm working for was hiring 5 engineers earlier this year. And they hired all indians from out of the city, lol.

We need to end the H-1B system

[@scrapbrainsinc]

It's really scary to hear that Elon is pushing for more H1B, as right now lets try to train up those without work and are willing to learn?

[@TMendocino]

Indians speak English, you dumazz, India was part of the British Empire. The birthplace of ENGLISH. Jesus Christ Almighty stop proving President Musk's point!

[@fE2y3UKF]

The elites are USING H1Bs to drive down salaries, erase the middle class, and create a new class of indentured slave labor that will replace all Americans. We have to push back against this and end all immigration or we will be replaced by Indian serfs who will be happy to live and work at the office for 90 hours a week for peanuts.

Hello Sir, I just wanted to report that after looking for gainful employment since Sept of this year, I finally landed a job! I was facing homelessness and was at the literal end of my rope, and thank God, this job came right on time. I had posted a gofundme and not having any hope, only one donor to my plight.. I'm just happy that this will pay my rent, but barely. I'm happy with that! I wish you much luck in your endeavor for meaningful work. Been watching you for a while. God bless you. ❤

[@LaborGains]

I'm so happy to hear you found a job! That's great news.

[@Sdk123-p7v]

Job market is going to get even tougher, and I’ve pretty much given up on looking for another tech job and started doing Uber and other gig work 2 months ago.

[@Sdk123-p7v]

@@LaborGains obviously not as high paying, but honestly it’s the state of the market now, and now people aren’t even able to get on any of the platforms because they are all full. Hence why I have resorted to doing as many side gigs as I can, instead of just sitting there applying and waiting. I can keep myself occupied in the meantime

[@stevennpitt]

Yeap - 2025?... I think its gonna be a continuation of the s*** show but on steroids...

[@johngarbarini1048]

Computers have taken all the good jobs, starting in the 70s. You might wait 2-3 years for a decent job, despite an excellent resume. 5-10 in an apt, if the lease allows it. People will trample each other for work. Politicians will not talk about this, since they will not be re-elected.

[@LaborGains]

Good points. Thank you.

[@darienford860]

I worked 2 jobs the majority of 2024 and was barely getting by. I can only imagine not having one at all

[@LaborGains]

Yea, life is expensive these days.

[@autoimmunitycurse]

Jobs $12 and under is what is getting boosted. Especially with dependents. AGI 2025 14k-23k ECI with 3 dependents ...$8k credit. Add in with holding, most will get $10k tax return. Put $2k in 401k/IRA, another $1k credit with Savers Credit. Add in CTC and additional CTC, plus standard deduction, on AGI 23k, get a tax return approaching $12k. Put $2k of return in IRA CD at your own bank, earn interest and $1k saver credit next year. IRA not counted in FAFSA, SNAP, CHIP, etc. A few years of this will get down payment on house. Use half tax return every year for lump sum mortgage payment. Get LTV below 80%, cancel escrow and PMI. Use lump of tax return to pay taxes and HOI.

[@LaborGains]

That's a very clever strategy. Thanks for sharing!

[@monterreymxisfun3627]

This reminds me of 1980-2. 1980 was a job desert. 1981was slow but a bit better. 1982 was much easier.

The issue is that there is less money in the economy in general due to the Boomer generation entering into retirement and spending less. The working cohort will need to look outside side of those sectors that have been supported by the Boomers' spending power, and instead focus on those industries that are in their ascendance, like the heathcare, defence (including cybersecurity) and energy sectors.

[@LaborGains]

Makes sense. Thanks for the comment!

[@wontgetfooledagain8178]

It has been tough this year finding work, until something came through in October, thankfully. It has been hard even getting paid for work done, and it seems as though these employers are seeking the world, yet it is a race to the bottom, in my opinion. A great deal is demanded for sub $18.00 per hour. Tech totally sucks too. I now feel that all that retooling I did in 2023 was kind of an expensive waste of effort. Although I am working, I can feel everyone’s frustration and am really sick of this B.S. Still waiting to learn of compelling reasons as to why it even makes sense to stay in this country.

Why should you be optimistic in 2025? I know this answer sucks, but it is the answer if there is an answer to be had, that answer being it is the best available option. I know with this channel you already know something about creating opportunity when you aren't being given pre-existing opportunities that you very well deserve. This is kinda out of your wheelhouse professionally speaking and if possible that you could be the kinda employer you want to see in the work working in the field you already know and you can capitalize upon undervalued human capital it is a moral victory and could potentially be a financial victory. I mean you have had so many roles you know what "what it takes to succeed" in each of those roles is like. You would have to leverage the inherent advantage of a small operation to make a small operation work but you perhaps already know how to do that. The employer concentration has further increased their economies of scale advantage but their disadvantages that are the inherent disadvantages of large organizations has become and continues to still further become disadvantageous. They are bloated and have no flexibility nor do they have quick turnaround or attractive throughput rates. It would require hella guts but if you got hella guts it is a thing to consider.
