job reports vs the job market/layoffs

160 views

The new job report says everything is fine and there’s plenty of good jobs out there. My LinkedIn is like 60% people begging for jobs. Why is there a contrast? Are these people bad at applying searching or was the whole report bullshit?

Your data may be self-selecting; most people aren’t going to be super active on LinkedIn unless they are specifically job hunting.

There may also be different markets/sectors being discussed; furniture makers may be widely unemployed, but there are tons of solar panel factory jobs available.
