That's been part of the "financial" hub-bub for a couple months. I think they call it "ghosting".

Ghosting is something else. More like dropping off the face of the earth to someone you have a personal relationship with ....not a business relationship or employer/interviewee relationship.

Ok, I stand corrected, I guess the definition has expanded.

And yet pay is still as flat as a flounder.

I was right.

Or perhaps dropped some as compared to inflation....

Link to some charts

Eventually the employers not being able to hire people are going to have to do something via pay or benefits to get qualified people in. If this corporate 'ghosting' is really prevalent now that is.

Yes unfortunately pay hikes and inflation probably carry a positive correlation. Not the other way around though? ANyway the charts do bear out that under Obama things got lots better. And kind continue that way under Trump though his policies are speeding inflation so that ain't too good without the corresponding pay hikes. Ghosting or no ghosting... 2018 inflation is getting near three percent.

So many $7.25 an hour jobs.

It's possible to get a second one too!

Thank you the glide.

I thought Adolf Twitler was going to do something about the labor participation rate?

From that chart, it declined for the entire Obama administration and stopped once Trump got into office. Maybe not the best chart to make a point with, heh.

Scombrid...... dude, really?

The lowest is had been was just before he got into office. Looks like 62.3% give or take.

It's called baby boomers. Miker: econ challenged like all the ridiculous reality show zero lovers. You know maybe making America Great means not having to have every able bodied person working their a$$ off...

Fell to 62.9% by December 2013. Was flat apart from seasonal oscillations for all of 2014 and well into 2015. 62.3% minimum was in September 2015. Was 62.7 to 63 for the duration of 2016. Inauguration of Trump was in January 2017. It was 62.9% in January 2017. It was 62.9% in July 2018.

September 2015. Flat from December 2013 to then and then flat again thereafter. When was Trump got into office again?

Where did the other chart go? Can't see it on this device for some reason, that or it was removed.

Scombrid who was in office from 2008 to 2013 when the bottom dropped out?

You and greenie both need to realize I am not backing up Trump. Lol I was just commenting that the original chart wasn't the best to use. Umm, so don't get your panties in a bunch greenie. The economy lags behind policy generally anyways, so any of the early 'success' during the Trump administration was due to Obama anyways.

Once Trump got into office was January 2017. The drop in the rate occurred before then and the rate didn't fall for the entire Obama administration so your statement is factually incorrect. So, uh, heh.

Regarding the CNN article in the opening post. It offers no specifics on the types of jobs for which there is a labor shortage.
Recruiter in the vague CNN article says::: "I expect that if I send you a plane ticket and block off two hours to meet with you, you will show up." As a result, he said some companies are having candidates agree to reimburse for travel costs if they take the trip but flake on the interview.
That type of job likely isn't the type of job for which the people sidelined from the labor market in the Great Recession were/are qualified. Yeah, white collar folks are doing fairly well right now.
