The #JobMarket Is Frozen
#Unemployment is low, but workers aren’t quitting and businesses aren’t #hiring. What’s going on?
The answer is that two seemingly incompatible things are happening in the #job market at the same time. Even as the unemployment rate has hovered around 4 percent for more than three years, the pace of hiring has slowed to levels last seen shortly after the #GreatRecession, when the unemployment rate was nearly twice as high.

Uh-oh. Time to hitch up those overalls, youngsters.

Just kidding. Work is overrated. Avoid it if you can.

Life is more than a little money. Don't you know that? And it's a beautiful day.

Minneapolis Fed:

“We’re still in a tight, tight labor market and I would expect that to be the case for the next 10, 15 years until the next generation is fully in the labor force,” said Angelina Nguyễn, research director at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

Part of the reason is more baby boomers are retiring. But new generations entering the labor force aren’t as numerous. This trend is likely stronger in many parts of the Ninth District because the population is older than average.

"It’s a common feeling when looking at a job listing online: the title is perfect, the pay is right, and the company seems like a solid place to work. But you also wonder if that job is real.

Lots of job seekers have a story about the postings that linger online but never seem to get filled. Those so-called ghost jobs—the roles that companies advertise but have no intention of filling—may account for as much as one in five jobs advertised online.

That’s according to an analysis of internal data by Greenhouse, a hiring platform that examined its clients’ job postings and hiring action over the past year. Greenhouse and LinkedIn recently have begun tagging job listings as verified in response to the rash of ghost listings.

The listings are dispiriting for workers, leading many to distrust potential employers and make a difficult process feel rigged against them."
