Layoffs may not be mounting, but it’s getting harder to find a job in a labor market where hiring is “anemic” as tariff-driven economic uncertainty has put a chill on some employers.
I was putting in about a dozen per day on LinkedIn and was getting nowhere. Then after a few weeks there weren’t a dozen places left to apply at. So now I do that about twice a week and look up posts created in a week’s time.
My main skills over the last 10 years have been HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the React framework. I just got done cramming Python so I can learn Flask.
Dice and Indeed have traditionally only gotten me third party recruiters and that never ends well or is profitable.
Pretty sure trade unions don’t require everyone to work at the same shop. I paid union dues when I worked doing screen printing in a shop that was me, another dude, and the owner who did all the design. That was the entire business and we were still part of the local painters trade union.

I don’t have any other options that don’t involve unskilled labor. I’m also not a young man anymore.

If you’re a developer and finally have a job you need to work on pushing what the industry has always needed. Start pushing to start a union.

The anti-union propaganda is so deeply ingrained in you that you didn’t even pause when you typed they out.
