When big stores, fast food joints and restaurants have to close because of theft and crime, it most certainly lowers the job availability. It certainly wasn’t mentioned in that article.

Probably because there are no statistics that actually support such situations as being impactful to the larger
job market. It’s not worth a mention unless pushing a political narrative.
The article is clear in that the trend isn’t caused by people loosing jobs as much as it’s about new jobs not being created. And people not aggressively looking for jobs, for whatever reasons that might be (boomers retiring, better severance packages, ICE arrests/deportations, just to name some examples).
"Unemployed workers are staying out of work for longer, even as layoffs remain low,” Indeed economist Allison Shrivastava told Yahoo Finance in an email. “This suggests the shift is less about an increase in people losing jobs and more about a decline in job openings.”
Also, Everything is getting tighter…companies are squeezing more out of less because costs of everything are going up and they’re trying to manage their costs without passing it along to the consumer. That means hiring freezes. Less new jobs.

I can speak from experience that this is accurate.

I am living through it now as well. Lots of pressure from upper management to go faster, do more with less…and BTW we’re hiring only for attrition.
I’m not against that. What I don’t like is when upper management is so far removed from the problem or don’t understand the normal process that they offer ideas that make absolutely no sense and/or are wasteful…so I waste my time explaining why it’s not necessary or provide better alternatives to achieve the goal…only to be told they want it done their way anyway.
And then I check the calendar to see how many days I have until I’m ready for early retirement…
:End rant:

Quite the opposite at my job. I work fast and am very efficient, but management is VERY lax; they stand around and talk to employees. Lots of lazy f&%ks. Hard work sees no reward… sigh

I get rewarded at work for working hard, with other people’s issues. That’s right, things get messed up, “give it to Anthony”. Have a problem employee, “give them to Anthony”. I work hard but I think it’s less “Anthony can fix everything” like they claim to “let’s give him all the crap”.

That sounds very stressful.
Hard work gets rewarded with more hard work.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched one of this person’s videos. But it made some interesting points on what determines the price of a standard comic.
Really interesting how the price was stable for so long, then how inflation drove the price point up to where it drove out newsstands and sparked the direct market.
At least these points seem to make sense.
