A lot of millenials and zoomers are going to be in for a surprise when they are laid off during the recession and discover what a tight job market is like.

The only places that will hire are low skilled jobs, and the least shitty ones will be highly competitive. You will be fighting with other highly educated people over warehousing jobs just so you don't have to scrub toilets or flip burgers to make ends meet. It's a terrible situation to be in

Thats already the case for the last decade for me. Apply to a job that requires no experience or very little. Dont get it or even an interview. I realized what was going on, likely many people with a decades experience applying for jobs that they are significantly overqualified for.

To some extent maybe, but there is definitely a demographics factor that's still going to make getting a job easier.

Warehouse jobs become very competitive during recessions. The amount of goods that are shipped is severely reduced so obviously the workload decreases. Back in 2008 when I worked in a large warehouse about 30% of the people were laid off and there was a hiring freeze for like 3 years. Some of my former colleagues who were laid off had to settle for even worse jobs because the situation was the same for pretty much all warehouses in the country. Despite the employment freeze we got like 50 applications every week from people who were desperate for a job

Got free money tossed at me 3 times during that period. (Thanks Fed Govt). Also got a promotion. Now I'm getting an 8% raise come july and up to an 12% one next year due to the state being flush with fed govt money. No student debt,no auto loans, no c.c debt either.
