Intel cutting 12,000 jobs

Intel to cut 12,000 jobs globally - Apr. 19, 2016

Tons of manufacturers heading off shore or to Mexico. My own company centralizing 5 million offices (It seems anyways) and hundreds of people losing their jobs as a result. Companies lowballing on job offers and controlling the market and all the shots.

Im always hearing how we have been pulled out of the "funk" but then you hear of all these job cuts going on all over the place. Its hard to believe America is thriving in any sense of the word when you constantly hear these stories every day.


Everyone constantly cutting expenses and trying to go "Lean and Mean" doesn't seem to coincide with a healthy job market to me anyways

And Trump is going to have Mexico build the wall, taking jobs from Americans.

In other words," malnourished and pissed" from the overworked and underpaid worker's point of view.

Job market is hit or miss depending on sector and region to some degree. Old school, low skill jobs are not coming back in volume and at high salary. That's gone for good. Still, most economic indicators have been up. People are working and spending. Someone is finding jobs and making money.

I'm in Seattle, it's crazy here. As HR Manager/Recruiter I've posted accounting jobs last year and had 60 resumes in a couple of days, this year, it was 10 for basically the same position.

Sorry man, look at the BLS, more jobs, more money being earned. If your skilled & struggling, it's time to relocate.

The job market is continually evolving. Old jobs are eliminated and new jobs are created every day.

To survive you must evolve. You need to keep refreshing your skill set to be current.

Evolve or become extinct. You choose.
