But...the economy is fine. The stock market at historic highs, unemployment at historic lows, growth is very high, and inflation is under control and moving even lower....
...the economy is just bad for you :-( And for me, your job search sounds just like mine.
But it's important not to get caught up in the trap that if it's bad for me, it's bad for the world. It's not.
It's a lot easier saying that automation is long-term good for the economy--when you are the one who is automating away somebody else's job.
But it is still true, and what we are facing has been faced by one group of workers or another since the dawn of the industrial age, and if they could figure it out, we'll eventually figure it out too.

I’m confident we’ll figure it out. Just more so expressing my frustration haha. I’m from Canada so I’m more so basing my experience off the current state of the Canadian economy.
