it's honestly not hard to find a job if you actually go looking for one that isn't a typical "office" job or a stocker/cashier at a store.

manufacturing places are looking for workers ALL the time, and they're usually pretty lax on the requirements because of that.

but no, everyone these days wants to be pewdiepie. sit at home, play games, and get paid for it.

that's not how it works.

As I see it the labor market is only really "working" if the ratio of available jobs matches the demographics of the people looking for them.

Not EVERYONE'S going to find a job in their field, I get that, but the proportion of people looking for work in a certain field should be reflective of the jobs available in that area.

Padding job numbers with low-paying, non-skilled work in a market that's pining for 8-5 salary positions doesn't really correct the problem. That doesn't create the strength the economy deserves to have when there's skilled labor looking for jobs that use those talents.
