...and that info comes from a website that makes money when people are looking for jobs.

Not saying it's not true but I wonder what the questions were and if it is statistically secure because otherwise it's not really saying anything really.

I dont believe these numbers for a second but if we assume they are right... Roughy 10% of all jobs in the United States in the next 11 months will be lost to layoffs? A resume isn't going to help you if that happens.

This is absolute nonsense. It would cause an epic collapse of social systems across the world at a time when the economy is doing just fine.

Given the absurd result the survey was obviously B.S.

Maybe the test takers were getting paid to answer surveys and were just mashing buttons?

Based on what?

I know still so many companies who never had a chance to hire successful the last few years.

Also we are 1 billion people more than in 2008.

Alone the growth should make this already not similar as 2008.
