The job market makes no sense. Companies are laying off thousands while offering sign-on bonuses at the same time. There are more job openings than unemployed people, yet millions still can’t get hired.

Entry-level jobs demand 5 years of experience, and applicants keep getting rejected on LinkedIn without clear reasons. The job market feels broken for both young graduates and older workers.

Artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping the job market. AI is replacing clerical, customer service, and data entry jobs, making the competition for good jobs even tougher.

A broken job market affects economic growth, inflation, and even financial markets. When companies can’t hire, productivity drops. When workers can’t find stable jobs, consumer spending slows. These problems ripple through the economy, impacting your paycheck, your savings, and the cost of living.
