My spouse has been unemployed for the last 14 months. And 15 months ago, I lost my full-time job and had to immediately pivot to freelancing to support us both. It’s cool! We’re good! We are millennials forged in the fires of multiple once-in-a-lifetime economic disasters. We’re Frugal and Good With Money and totally unsurprised to find ourselves yet again scraping our way up from the bottom. … is what I would’ve told you nine, or even six months ago. But now, more than a year into being a single-income household, cracks are starting to show in our optimism. My husband, a college-educated, highly talented, experienced worker, has applied to more than 300 jobs. He made it to the interview stage of 10 of those. He made it to the final interview for 5 jobs. And he has yet to receive a single job offer. (Completely unrelated, uh… join our Patreon!) He’s not alone. Not being alone is part of the problem. Millions of people are going through the same struggle right now, flooding the job market with too much competition for too few job openings. We got a message from a follower who goes by Cloud Structures that read, “I did everything ‘right’: I went to a great school, did all the internships, worked hard, and… nothing. I’ve applied to hundreds and hundreds of jobs in the past few years. I’ve gotten career coaching, gotten certifications, networked, and chatted, and schmoozed. I feel insane.“ I really don’t blame them for feeling insane. It’s hard out there for a jobseeker! This whole process has made my spouse and all my unemployed friends (of whom there are disturbingly many at the moment) feel completely worthless, unemployable, and disrespected. My husband has been ghosted by companies and recruiters alike. He’s received form rejection letters for applications when he was perfectly, 100% qualified, without even a screening interview. I don’t think it’s dramatic to say that we’re currently experiencing an epidemic of unemployment during one of the worst job markets in a century. So today I’m gonna roll up my sleeves and unpack just why that is.

The hiring rate, i.e., how many jobs are in need of a person. When you have a lot of #1 and a little of #2 at the same time, it leads to a perfect storm for jobseekers. The opposite condition—a labor shortage, as we’ve explained—is great news for jobseekers! Let’s say that here in Bitch Nation, we have 10 people looking for jobs, and 100 open positions. The odds are in favor of the jobseekers, as hiring managers will be
The mic is yours. Your story could inspire someone else’s financial journey. Hey BAD community! One of my favorite parts of writing here is the community aspect of learning from all of you. Every time I write about debt, saving, or investing, the comments remind me that there’s no single path to financial success and personal finance is inherently…well, personal. We all have different goals and different paths to get there. That’s why I’d love to start a new interview series featuring readers who have paid off significant debt. While I’ve shared my own journey from six figures of debt to financial independence over the past decade, I know this community has so many other stories worth sharing, too. I’d love to hear about your experience. What kind of debt did you have? What strategies worked? What mistakes did you make? What sacrifices were the hardest? And what did life look like on the other side? Whether you paid off $20,000 or $200,000, over two years or twenty, I think readers can learn something from every success story. If you are interested in being featured, leave a comment below with the best email address to reach out (or let me know if you’d rather share it privately), and I’ll be in touch with more details. I can’t wait to hear your stories! -Ashley Image source: Pexels.com The post Spotlight Feature: Debt Payoff Champions appeared first on Blogging Away Debt.
Looking for the best things to sell at school to make extra money? The good news is you don’t need a huge budget or a complicated business idea. Some students make steady cash by selling simple products their classmates already want every day. The challenge is choosing the right items. Some products sell out almost as soon as you put them on the table, while others barely attract any buyers. Knowing the difference can save […]
When is doing too little still doing too much? Executing nothing is a viable strategy. In some aspects of life the more you do, the worse the outcomes. In others, it’s the opposite. Let’s take a look at two contrasting examples, baseball and investing. I used to be a big baseball fan but I am starting to despise the game. The main reason is an appalling lack of effort by the players. Players make an average of…The post Sometimes Laziness Pays The Highest Dividends appeared first on A Teachable Moment.
