Job seekers are sending out hundreds of applications. Here’s why they’re not hearing back.
The unemployment rate has been climbing over the past few years, but historically, it isn’t that high… Even so, some people have been talking about having a really, really rough time finding work. Brittany is joined by
Wailin Wong, co-host of NPR’s Indicator podcast, and
Nitish Pahwa, staff writer for business and tech at Slate, to get into why the decent macroeconomic numbers aren’t adding up for job seekers and why the market might be stuck in an “AI doom loop.”
