2025 is deemed the year of layoffs. That’s what a hiring manager told me jokingly the other day. Time to squeeze the oranges hard as you possibly can until it’s about the burst! I think everyone is terrified. I certainly am. It’s infuriating. You work hard, do everything you’re supposed to do, and you lose no matter what happens
I’d prefer a straight up count of individuals not in school, training, or employment age 18 to retirement age.
That’s a fair approach but two blind spots, mothers and disabled?
Also the rich?
Fair point on disabled people and mothers shouldn’t be counted for a year after birth. If rich people are unemployed yes they should be counted.
