And you say you can't get a job!

Maybe employers need to up the amount they pay?

Imagine how much a trucker could demand if not for immigrants...that's how you re-allocate wealth to blue collar laborers, not government handouts.

Expect a massive amount of bullshit and propaganda blanketed the televisions by the globalist media and their corporate benefactors.

[C-Mag]

Blue Collar wages are going up.

Trump can't keep getting away with this.

Medium-size businesses, which employ 50 to 499 people, added 80,000 payrolls in June, while large businesses added 69,000 jobs. Small businesses, which employ one to 49 people, saw payrolls increase by 29,000.

Extremely low growth in small business vs. big business.

Service providers added 148,000 payrolls, led by gains in education and health as well as leisure and hospitality. Education and health services payrolls grew by 46,000 jobs last month while leisure and hospitality jobs grew by 33,000. Information technology, however, saw a contraction of 2,000 jobs in June.

That should not be happening in a 'growing' economy. Service growing, administration falling.

The goods-producing sector, meanwhile, added 29,000 jobs, led by gains in construction and manufacturing of 13,000 and 12,000, respectively.

Manufacturing is coming back, for whatever that's worth. Tariffs will do that initially.

Overall, the job market is not tightening for tech workers. It's actually quite slack right now. If anything, the white-collar labor force is over qualified for the jobs available. Great time to be an assembly worker, but you have to live on an assembly worker's wage.

Also, I've noticed that tech job postings are trying to combine about a dozen specialties into a single position, and pay a rate equivalent to one of them. And the HR departments are screening out anyone without a 4-year degree, now that everybody has one.

Here's one in Cleveland: https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=81ce5 ... serp&vjs=3

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS

Design and develop software to inspect and measure data quality.
Hands-on software development with SAS, R, SQL, Excel, and Hadoop.
Familiar with Cognos, Tableau, and Teradata technology.

That alone is a huge amount of varied experience. They call it "Data Governance Data Quality Analyst"

Analyst is keyword for "$50k max". The other terms are a mash of two distinct jobs - "Data Governance" and "Data Quality".

I thought that was a given.

assembly line not so much. Demand is in skilled labor like welders and machinists.

[SuburbanFarmer]

fair enough. Good times for welders then.

But not so great for tech workers.

the irony is not lost on the rest of us. The people that laughed and openly mocked the economic situation of the midwest and blue collar regions of this country now want to cry because their objective of rendering those people obsolete has hit a stumbling block. Sorry not sorry suck on it and die. Enjoy your work being replaced by the H1B Visa, how do like them open borders?

I must admit I find it funny as well.

We have trouble finding a “tech” worker because we need multi talented as well. Though we certainly offer more than analyst salary lol.

Problem is STL ain’t exactly the hub and Mecca of tech right now.
