@shattered.glass.coaching: After the May jobs report was released last Friday, economists are out there saying that "hiring is back" - and this narrative is gaslighting job seekers. Here's the truth. Yes, 172,000 jobs were added in May and some industries increased hiring. And some economists are saying the hiring recession is over. Here's what the headlines aren't telling you: Financial services lost 22,000 jobs in May, down 107,000 since last year. If you're in finance, it's brutal. 1 in 4 unemployed workers has been out of work for over six months. That's 2 million people. People staying put at their current jobs are fine. People without jobs are struggling to find them. If you've been searching and hearing nothing, it's not because you're not trying hard enough. It's because the market is harder than the headlines admit. What works right now: move fast when roles open, network into companies before applying, target industries actually hiring. #jobmarket #jobsearchtips #jobsearch #jobsearching #careercoach
