Why Job Searching Feels So Hard Right Now
The job market is challenging — and it’s not your fault:
The U.S. created ~911,000 fewer jobs last year than first reported.
In August 2025, only 22,000 jobs were added, while unemployment rose to 4.3%.
Job openings hit a 10-month low, down 176,000 from July.
Underemployment is climbing, with more people stuck in part-time or below-skill roles.
If your inbox is quiet, it’s not personal failure. It’s the environment. The good news? You can still take back control of your career.

2–3 career pivot experiments you can test right away.
