Not really talking about the current job situation, but do you ever notice how there are no postings for really obscure positions that definitely exist but are never posted anywhere? I feel like David Graeber would have a lot to say
A lot of it is networking. I have gotten more job offers out of nowhere since I started going to BS after work stuff than I got replies when actively seeking a position.
Also helps that I’m working in a field where there is a lack of workers to fill demand more people to fill demand and 80% are even more lazy than my lazy ass. I guess I understand why they do it after they caught one of their hires that they invested in getting brand new tools and a car stealing from their customers within the first two weeks. Basically being able to dare your employer to fire you while doing the bare minimum is a pretty nice position to be in.
I recently fell into unemployment again myself, and I hate how much this resonates. Every single job posting I see is for marketing or IT, and maybe a few teaching and caretaker positions sprinkled in. How to survive as a neurodivergent, no idea, pls send help, @ me on twitter, send me a fax with all the info
Capitalism requires huge numbers of unemployment so that they can use the precarity of work as a tool to threaten against collective action. Lot easier to lay everyone tryna unionise off and hire fresh hands when work is hard to come by and folks are starving.
And also… Uh… I may have eaten all the jobs. Sorry, but I was really hungry.

LinkedIn is a powerful tool of that methodology.
