Healthcare + low skilled, low wage jobs (EMS, manufacturing, parcel delivery, warehouse work) are taking a lot of slack out of the employment market Check out where job gains in the US were in November: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf Healthcare added +32k jobs, the majority of which were ambulance drivers/EMS jobs Manufacturing added +27k jobs, mainly in chemicals and heavy metals Transportation and warehousing added + 25k jobs, mainly in package delivery and warehouse work Business services added +32k jobs All other sectors remained largely unchanged I don't think a 50YO radio engineer at Verizon is going to be happy retraining to be an EMS or package delivery courier. Labor, especially older and higher paid (non management) positions, is not in the best position right now despite the record low unemployment rate
