How is the job market currently operating in 2021?

[FinalFantasyBro]

I am almost getting technically ready to restart applying for companies, I haven't had a job since the pandemic occurred but I will almost start reapplying myself for pertential jobs. But I heard not many people are looking for jobs or wanting jobs. My question is mostly how is the job market like while we are currently in the pandemic?

Jobs are everywhere people dont want them all them people who cross the Southern border will take them then we who refuse to eork will become poor

I work in IT and i have found it difficult to find a job. The only jobs around are retail and fast food.

Oh man I can imagine how terrible that must be.

I have to believe that things will get better. I am too young to retire.

Thanks for the MHO

There's supposed to be a job boom in the UK but I wonder how many are just rehiring after covid layoffs rather than creating new jobs

My company has lots of open positions, but none are entry level... which probably explains why they have so many open positions.

I work in supply chain and logistics and have received three substantial raises during the pandemic.

Plentiful if one is allowed to work and can work or wants to work.

Everyone around me is hiring. They raised the starting salary and some places offer a sign on bonus

Tons of open jobs in America

Thanks, I was a bit worried if there were barely any jobs.

Pretty sure it's the highest unemployment rate in my lifetime

[FinalFantasyBro]

Great news to hear thanks
