After almost six months of looking for work, just landed a job yesterday. But was talking to the headhunter who placed me in the job and she told me that I was lucky. The door on job openings is shutting for the 4th quarter and probably won't open even a little bit until after the election. My headhunter said that she already has a list of jobs she will be looking for, but the start date is not until after January 1st.
So things were improving a little bit, but will be stalling for the next three months.
Indeed is just an aggregate search engine. If you have issues with it, those are your issues. Don't blame a search engine.
The main issue with it is the emailing of positions that were posted 2 days ago. That's means you resume may not even be seen because so many was submitted over a 48 hour period. If a job is posted tomorrow morning, Indeed won't send it until Monday.

Most Indeed job listings, once you click them, direct you to whatever website the job was posted to apply (sometimes it's CareerBuilder or Monster).
A few years ago, when the recession hit and the stock market fell below 7000, people were getting laid off and companies were closing. I was one of those casualties, losing my job in 2010.
From what I could tell, there were so many people looking for jobs, that employers could pay less for a more qualified worker. It still seems that way today. So then why is the stock market rising again? If people are still out of work, or taking jobs for less pay, then they have to be buying less. Does this effect the stock market at all?
I can't quite understand this whole thing - less jobs, less money for workers but stock market is rising and recession is over.
Jobs would be in China, Mexico, Brazil,etc.
