I will say that I have noticed at least 1 positive from the Biden reign, over the past 6 months or so it's been easier to hire drivers and techs than it has been in years. We're considering lowering the starting pay a tad just to see what happens.

Nashville area but hire all over the country. Don't get me wrong, it's still hard to find people who will work and can pass the drug screen but it's getting easier. Having a lot of dock bumpers apply because they can't make any money OTR and they're sitting a lot.

Interesting. I've got a heavy manufacturing mgt background and currently estimate for a casework company. I watch Indeed several times a week. I never see anything "for me" that has any money tied to it. What I have found to apply to goes unacknowledged.

Context matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was an enormous amount of jobs lost due to covid creating a vaccuum in the job market. After covid, people began to go back to their jobs.

Biden claims record job creation — here are the facts and context

Report from Jan 2023:

"There are two important items of context to note. The first is that Biden's presidency began in a pandemic-induced trough for the labor market. When Biden was first sworn in, many people were still jobless because their employers were closed or because they were refusing to go to work for fear of contracting the coronavirus. Job creation since then largely reflects businesses reopening and workers returning to the labor force, a process that was well underway when Biden came into office.

The second is that the economy has not yet returned to the pre-pandemic trend. The country is still perhaps several million jobs short of what was expected before the coronavirus struck.

Here's the math: The establishment survey from Friday's report showed that the total employment level was 153.7 million. The Congressional Budget Office projected in January 2020 that there would be 155 million non-farm payrolls by the end of 2022. The difference is 1.3 million jobs. Another way of looking at it is that the overall employment-to-population ratio stands at 60.1%, according to the household survey in Friday's report, versus 61.1% in February 2020."



Fact check: Biden's claim about 12 million new jobs

Even CNN points this out:

President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address that his administration has "created, with the help of many people in this room, 12 million new jobs — more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years.”

Facts First: Biden’s number is accurate: the US economy added 12.1 million jobs between Biden’s first full month in office, February 2021, and January 2023. That number is indeed higher than the number of jobs added in any previous four-year presidential term. However, it’s important to note that Biden took office in an unusual pandemic context that makes meaningful comparison to other periods very difficult.

Biden became president less than a year after the economy shed nearly 22 million jobs over two months, March and April 2020, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The jobs recovery then began immediately after that, under then-President Donald Trump, but there was still an unprecedented hole to fill when Biden took office.

Biden is free to argue that his stimulus legislation and other policies have helped the country gain jobs faster than it otherwise would have. (As always, it’s debatable precisely how much credit the president deserves for job-creation.) Nonetheless, it is clear that there could only be such an extraordinary number of jobs added in 2021 and 2022 because there was such an extraordinary number of jobs lost in early 2020.
