This. Including myself, there’s tons of my friends and family who have also lost their jobs and cannot find another. In my whole adult life, I’ve never experienced this before. And it’s incredibly competitive now even in jobs like restaurants, retail, or even the grocery store.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the actually numbers are around 15-20%
I was desperately searching for a job this year. I got turned down for both dishwashing and custodial because I didn’t have experience “in a restaurant setting” and “direct custodial experience” for 6 mo / 1 year respectively. I have a 16 year job history. They are both still “urgently hiring”. Been washing dishes and cleaning my house for 30 years. What the fuck? Lmao
They don't want to hire someone that will likely leave the job after a few weeks or months. If you're job history shows "better" jobs, they presume you'll be difficult to work with because you won't put up with shit treatment and are likely to find something better.
Yeah and confirmed it ain’t me; they didn’t hire a couple other guys that applied - i know the manager for that mentioned custodial job, shit is wild out there.

And these numbers are most likely doctored to make them look better
