Job seekers are sending out hundreds of applications. Here’s why
they’re not hearing back.

The unemployment rate has been climbing over the past few years,
but historically, it isn’t that high… Even so, some people have
been talking about having a really, really rough time finding work.
Brittany is joined by Wailin Wong, co-host of NPR’s Indicator
podcast, and Nitish Pahwa, staff writer for business and tech
at Slate, to get into why the decent macroeconomic numbers aren’t
adding up for job seekers and why the market might be stuck in an
“AI doom loop.”
