I know it's hard now days working in the workforce that is why I learned how to trade stocks one must learn I to start there own business or learn I to invest or money while you work for someone. It's hard in the workforce but one must focus on the job and do your best.

My parents seem to think I’m some sort of lazy bum because I’ve moved back in with them. I’ve been trying to tell them that the job market just isn’t what it used to be, when they were trying to make it on their own.

Now, I’ve finally got statistics to back up my case! 40% of all young adults are living with relatives these days!

I never seen time like these trying to find a job is hell. People scamming, people want you to buy a job, people telling you hired but nothing happens after that. What in the world are people going to do to take care of their selves, this as awful so awful, job services and temp agency can't even keep your working. It makes you feel like screaming in front of the Congress Building until someone come up with an answer. Unemployment only last for 26 weeks and it may take you years to find another job. Even, working at a department store etc. jobs hard to obtain. The have a questioner now if you don't pass that you don't get the job. To stock shelves, need a degree to be a receptionist. Give me a break, what are we to do. We need to form committees and write, write, write until someone hear us. With the new president I don't know, even with President Obama in the job market much changed except they are hiring more college students, military personnel but what about the regular people we need jobs too. I have skills; however, landing a job is next to impossible. I am ready to give up but who can unless we live in poverty and maybe that is what society, rule maker and shakers want us to do.

New research from McKinsey identifies five priorities for shaking off US economic stagnation and creating more widely shared prosperity. The McKinsey Global Institute makes a case for the private sector becoming the “connective tissue that brings both parties together around a new agenda for revving up growth.”

Says McKinsey: "the United States needs to build a more responsive labor market with more career paths outside the traditional degree track." Agreed! Kudos to Jobcase for breaking down job barriers for millions of Americans. http://neytenda.com/post/153567683049/linkedin-for-everyone-else

Is advanced technology overshadowing the value of the human contribution to the workplace? More self driving, self checkout, and self service eventually leads to less jobs. If it's hard finding a good paying job now then what's the job search going to be like in 5 or 10 years? What new skills should I be learning now to help me stay competitive and survive an already dying labor market?

3 interviews, 100 question pre- employment assessment test, background check, and drug test. All this for a whopping part-time $9.50 per hour job. What gives?

As the labor force is being replaced with automation and innovation at an increasing rate, when will be the tipping point where the current model of employment not be sustainable? What plans are in place for the population that will be unemployed? How will we transition over from the old model to the new one? Will there only be so many tech/maintenance positions available and will they number far fewer than the previous positions they replaced? These are questions I find myself thinking about often. It seems like it will be a potentially scary transition for many and happen in this lifetime, at the current rate technology is evolving today.
