A very good piece in @wsj on the economics of immigration: reducing legal pathways for immigrants in the U.S. and mass deportation are bad for the economy, disincentivize integration and leads to more crime by removing legal ways to make a living.

A comic strip titled "TrueNuff Heck Support" Jay is IT person and when looking at the coworker monitor, he yells "NO," when asked, "JAY, CAN I INSTALL ...?" Jay walks away from a female coworker who says, "I THINK MY COMPUTER NEEDS ....," to which he replies, "IT DOESN'T." Another coworker shouts, "HEY! WHY'S MY COMPUTER BROKEN AGAIN?" Jay yells back, "BECAUSE YOU DOWNLOAD DUMB SHIT." Later, Jay is relaxing on a couch playing video games. Another person asks him, "HOW WAS WORK?" Jay, holding a bottle, smiles and replies, "AWESOME."

I have a job interview tomorrow. I’m nervous. 😬 😥

So I'm officially 8 months jobless as of today.

Looking for a senior database architect/engineer role with pipeline/interface experience, if you know anyone looking. I'm a generalist hunting in a specialized world.

Alternately, I can edit your TTRPG manuscript or crowdfunding page for a nominal fee.

Thanks in advance!

400 #jobs lost and an entire #University campus closed in #Essex due to a decline in #InternationalStudent numbers (clearly the effect of our #HostileEnvironment for #Immigration) - and this Uni is offering courses in #HealthAndSocialCare for jobs which are in high demand in the region!

My low-key job hunt so far:

* Find a listing for a nicely paid, really interesting-sounding job
* Read all about this company’s particular ways of hurting people and destroying joy
* Repeat

This headline is clickbait, but the study gets at how tough the job market is. If you haven’t been looking for a job this year, it’s a completely different reality than any time in recent history.

a) There's an AI bubble
b) There's not an AI bubble

"And especially in North Carolina, when small businesses are 50% of your workforce and also farms and agribusiness are the number one economic driver in your state…. This is just impacting people, again, who don't feel safe to go to work, even if they are U.S. citizens. And it's just it's hit everybody everywhere in every sector."

"Trump’s tariffs are raising the price of material inputs and his deportations labor inputs, jacking up housing prices.

The same is happening on farms that are so short-staffed that Trump’s own Department of Labor warns the nation’s food supply is at risk.”

“For years, the MAGA right has insisted that deporting undocumented workers would free up jobs, lower prices, and restore an imagined Leave It to Beaver-esque past where ‘real Americans’ can thrive. They particularly hammer (no pun intended) the allegedly positive impact of fewer immigrants on the housing market."

"Vice President JD Vance claimed last week, ‘Illegal immigrants [are] taking houses that ought, by right, go to American citizens.’

But Trump’s mass deportation scheme actually works against the goal of making housing more affordable—because immigrants are a huge source of labor in the construction industry."

Did your IT job interview go amazing? You thought they loved you? Do you remember laughing with a friendly interviewer and thinking you had made a connection? Yet, a week later, they rejected you? You are not alone. most people genuinely don’t understand this process anymore. Please don't beat yourself up, be kind to yourself. The whole job market is like this.

This by Zito Madu is excellent. Our society is built as an ever-faster-spinning hamster wheel, one where those who don’t work & who are poor are denigrated.
Yet also, even the well-educated with “great resumes” find their jobs & lives ever more precarious.

I wish I could talk about the politics of work in the United States — the fact that it's harder and harder to live a decent life with a full time job, that every industry is made increasingly precarious by the tech evangelists who will invent any and every way to put people out of work, and that even beyond that, it feels spiritually deadening that so much of work has no meaning or benefit outside of completing repetitive tasks and that work dominates so much of people's day to day lives that one can rightly say that we've turned human life into one endless workday where the possibility of rest only exists to get you ready again for work. There's so much literature on all of these topics and I find the topics fascinating and critical to building a better world and shape of human life, but I just can't get past the initial step where we judge that even though the money, resources, and food is available, that some people should suffer because they don't work. And not only suffer but that they deserve to do so. It is what they have earned. I feel like accepting that sets you on a morally and spiritually dangerous path. Even if,
