Redditors lmao

If you can't get a job in this market with 3.5% unemployment then you probably aren't very good at your job to begin with.

I would think that they should "do something" in their own Democrat districts where they got laid off, instead of someplace that is beneath their dignity to live.

It's not that they can't get a job, it's that the work offered is so bad it's not worth it. Most people would prefer to be poor than subject themselves to crushing workloads, no time off, 24/7 availability and no reward for their work. It's especially bad in software as programmers are never credited for their work, will never see it's true application, and will never be able to appreciate what they've created.

Where does it say anything about being unable to find a job?

The only people who talk like that are the ones who have never actually been poor.

The article says she's a twenty-something who decided to take a couple months off to volunteer for a campaign after getting laid off. I've known a few tech folks in their twenties who take "breaks" to "find themselves" and they're all trust fund kids. A good chunk of them wandered off afterwards into some other field. I'm sure this one is no different.

You seem like the type of person who never takes vacation, and thinks they're better than colleagues who do.

3.5% unemployment is basically historical low unemployment rate. That type of rate hasn’t been seen since Nixon. A lot of economists consider “full employment” to be an unemployment rate of 5% or less

The tech sector was hit particularly hard with layoffs lately because companies over hired last year.
