I think they're confusing unemployment with difficulty finding jobs.
It's true that a lot of software engineers get laid off and take unemployment while theyre between jobs
It's also true that its super easy to get a job if you're an experienced software engineer.
This says more about companies simultaneously laying off and hiring than it does about the availability of jobs in the market.
Not being able to find a job is unemployment. Layoffs cause unemployment. Your takes in this thread show me that you’re kinda clueless. You should take a minute to get a more informed perspective next time.
Nope. I've lived it. Unemployment is great between jobs after you get laid off. When it runs out, get another. Easy.
