The numbers are all made arbitrary/simple just to check if the general property is true: even if there's no change in the market, if you sample job seekers you will find more people who feel the job search is harder because a hard job search means you are on the market longer and more likely to be surveyed.
- ghaff 3y agoYes, but a market where it takes a month longer vs. a year longer probably implies different behaviors.
- eru 3y agoSo my original comment was to the effect that the average job seeker you can interview will always skew towards being that guy who's taking a year to find a job. But 'that guy' will change: many more people will be 'that guy' during a downturn, than during a boom.
