WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are growing increasingly concerned about their ability to find a good job under President Donald Trump, an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds, in what is a potential warning sign for Republicans as a promised economic boom has given way to hiring freezes and elevated inflation.

High prices for groceries, housing and health care persist as a fear for many households, while rising electricity bills and the cost of gas at the pump are also sources of anxiety, according to the survey.

Some 47% of U.S. adults are “not very” or “not at all confident” they could find a good job if they wanted to, an increase from 37% when the question was last asked in October 2023. Gas prices remain high, as do energy costs. The lack of any action by 47 is very telling.

Yeah, I suspect being a former DEI hire in the new/better work environment would be challenging. They should have learned to code be pipe fitters.

DEI has nothing to do with this, Son.

You can't blame that lame bogyman for everything.

Is this newsworthy? It is a finding about peoples' feelings.

The job market is looking pretty good. Getting rid of the illegals is opening substantial numbers of jobs. The Truck Driving Schools again have hopeful candidates. Democrats are subsidizing the homes of illegals which is still keeping low income Americans out of a home, but that should change as there are more and more deportations.

All and all the outlook is improving for everyone.

Not sure what Trump could actually do about it TBH. While it's true he lacks the intelligence for a program that actually would elevate anyone; he also lacks the empathy to import someone with ideas to elevate persons via expanded opportunity.

I'm actually at a loss to explain it. Just judging from my little corner of the economy....I do vetting and surveillance of potential hires in the onboarding process. I'm pretty good at it too. Nobody bats a thousand but I'm pretty good at finding discrepancies between the resume and the actual studies/positions held. Its happened a few times this year. We had an applicant pool that was dynamite. They had the credentials, no holes in the record, everything checked out. I signed off on them. The initial interview dismissed a few of them which is odd in an of itself. The panel removed something like half of the rest. Part of being a caregiver is caring...most often that is cited as being the reason someone gets passed over. Seldom do I see the applicants in person except when I'm on the panel which is every other year. I think some of our distinguished staff is getting a bit of the "get off my lawn" bug in passing on these fine applicants.

I wonder if those who applied to mine and other health care networks were surveyed. I would imagine those who did it all right; checking all the boxes of experience and promotions, crossing the T's and dotting the i's on cont-ed would be frustrated and unsure if they are getting shoved aside as often as the clearly inferior University of Phoenix alums.

Inflation is lower today then when Trump took office

And find a good job if they wanted to, is not the same as not finding a job

No, it's about people's experiences.

Only 3 years ago, we had "the Great Resignation", where people were able to easily find better-paying jobs merely by sending out resumes. Shit, recruiters were trolling LinkedIn, seeing who forgot to turn off their 'Looking for Work" banners.

Oh, what a difference an election makes. Job growth has gone from 4 million new jobs a year to less than 300,000.

Wow, you're delusional.

If you are competing with someone with no papers, no contacts, and a limited grasp on the English Language, you've kind of failed at life.

FJB's numbers were bogus and padded with .gov jobs (state/fed) through grifty NGOs and such.

We know you guys lie a lot and if there is any truth you generalize or get specific if it is to your advantage. So, is part of that employment growth a few years ago if true due to a Covid recovery? Is the current growth due to the changeover Trump is attempting with government employment not spiking the employment growth like Progs do.

If you say so, buddy.

I remember it being pretty easy to find a new gig under Biden.

Now, not so much.

First, we never should have had to "recover" from Covid if Trump hadn't fucked up the economy to start with by his failures to deal with it properly.

Second, you miss what the "Great Resignation" was. It wasn't people going back to their old jobs. Most of them had done that by 2021.

The Great Resignation was all the people who realized what true assholes their employers were finding new jobs because of some of the truly shitty employer behavior during Covid.

Evidently a lot of Americans have been competing with those with no papers, unable to speak English and a driver's license issued to "no name given".

No they aren't

Americans don't want those jobs.

Uh huh. Americans don't want to be truck drivers, police officers or, school board executives.

We have a shortage of long-haul truck drivers right now, so apparently not. We also have a shortage of police officers. (although that's their own damned fault.)

So one guy lied on his resume, and that's a crisis?

Pack them all up and ship them out. Anywhere.

Anyone experiencing Progressive craziness during covid is a reason we can go to a dictatorship. Trump in is first administration had some swampers in it which he had to accept to not cripple his Presidency from the start. Trump was not totally educated in the stench of the political class even as you condemn him from the stanch of some in the business/corporate class. He then had Fauci who spent his career in this type of employment changing his views on what to do endlessly. The system was anti Trump. No President experienced biological warfare that Covid is.
