except I know so many out of work that are not in tech. Finance is getting destroyed right now, also media, learning and pharma. Govt jobs and travel jobs lost during covid seem like the only thing thats out there. The economy is absolute garbage right now and the media has been gaslighting everyone saying its all in our heads.

It's really interesting how different the job market is across countries. Unemployment in Denmark is still really low (2.9% [1]) of the top of my head I can't think of a single industry that isn't still hiring, except there's no one to hire.

I'd really like to know why there's such a huge different between e.g. the US, UK and Denmark. It may have to do with declining population in Denmark. Or maybe US companies over-hired, because they could, but those people would have had to go somewhere else.
