What is a Ghost Job
Manage episode 431473477 series 2762618
Hey Strangers, #ghostjob #jobsearch #jobs A vexing phenomenon is plaguing the labor market. "Ghost jobs" refer to listings by employers that either aren't real or have already been filled but never lead to an actual hire. This is frustrating not only to job seekers but also to the Federal Reserve, which is trying to steer the economy to a stable place. The official unemployment rate here in the U.S. has been at historic lows for a while now, but there are still stories of job seekers who are not hearing back from potential employers. Our colleagues over at The Indicator, Darian Woods and Wailin Wong, explain why these so-called ghost jobs seem to be on the rise. ======================================= My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** Something Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://www.npr.org/2024/06/14/nx-s1-5001857/what-are-ghost-jobs https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm https://www.businessinsider.com/layoffs-sweeping-us-these-are-companies-making-cuts-2024 https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/mmls_05222013.pdf https://www.bls.gov/news.release/mmls.nr0.htm https://jobs.washingtonpost.com/article/how-to-spot-a-ghost-job/ ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.
