I work at a school, so I'm off for the summer. That being the case, I'm mostly seeing the job market of my little community, which is ~40 miles southeast of Seattle. I think the small businesses are shutting down due to location/lack of consumers.
I've noticed fast food places hiring part-time positions. The people I know looking for work want full time +benefits. Lack of education is most likely factoring into having trouble finding jobs that pays well. Speaking from personal experience,
I learned during my performance review that if the $15 min wage spreads beyond Seattle I will lose my job. So, that could be having negative effects on others as well, I'm assuming.
I was born and raised in Michigan, and I was just there in May for a funeral. 😔 I was transferred to CA 1 year after starting a job in my current company. It was either move or lose my job.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I worried about moving to California, but it turned out for me to be a dream come true. I have foothills surrounding me, I'm 40 minutes to the ocean, 4 hours from the mountains, no rain in the summer, and warm winters.
What part of CA do you live in? The job market seems to be pretty strong here in the Bay Area. I'm not actually looking for a job, but it "feels" strong here.
Southern California. But I'm in accounting so I'm not sure about other industries. I know my neighbor who doesn't have a college degree is having a hard time finding something.
