Not really talking about the current job situation, but do you ever notice how there are no postings for really obscure positions that definitely exist but are never posted anywhere? I feel like David Graeber would have a lot to say

    Capitalism requires huge numbers of unemployment so that they can use the precarity of work as a tool to threaten against collective action. Lot easier to lay everyone tryna unionise off and hire fresh hands when work is hard to come by and folks are starving.

    And also… Uh… I may have eaten all the jobs. Sorry, but I was really hungry.

      LinkedIn is a powerful tool of that methodology.
