A couple of other workers I spoke with had also been out of work for several months.
And on a more bright note, one of the workers actually got a job recently.
He had been laid off from a software company back in September and started to feel that financial toll, having to collect unemployment benefits and food stamps to support his family and family.
He just finalized a job offer and he's going to be working for a recruiting company.
And so he's excited about helping people find jobs and helping companies hire.
Right.
There was actually some really interesting data from the job posting site Indeed a month or two ago that was showing that a lot of companies kind of in the finance sector or consulting were actually trying to hire tech workers.
So it just shows that if you get laid off from a tech company, then you can kind of take your skills elsewhere.
That is the big question right now.
And it's interesting because basically in 2021 and through some of 2022, we were seeing just really gangbusters job growth.
Companies were trying to hire just super aggressively.
And some companies have said that now that they're back to their pre-pandemic staffing levels, they don't want to have to go through that process again.

Job openings still exceed the number of people who are looking for work.
In other words, companies still need a lot of workers, even though they're back to their 2020 staffing levels, but they just can't find them.
Thanks so much for having me, JR.
There are a lot of sectors that have brought on workers in recent months and are trying to bring on workers, notably leisure and hospitality, which includes restaurants, bars and hotels.
have been adding back workers after really steep cutbacks at the beginning of the pandemic.
We've seen retailers, health care companies, and a lot of kind of white-collar jobs and what we call professional and business services hiring as well.
One key reason we're seeing this disconnect is that employers just haven't been able to find enough workers over the past year, year and a half, as they've seen a lot of consumers coming out and spending money on their goods and services.
And so they're still recovering from losses at the beginning of the pandemic.
