Content creator Natalia Davis (@nataliadavis928) has ignited social media with a video in which she shares her anguish over the lack of employment in the United States, a situation that has affected both her and her husband. She mentions that they have been job hunting for months without success: "I have been unemployed for a month, my husband has been unemployed for three months... we have applied for jobs and we haven't found anything." Davis, who lives in the Seattle area, asked her audience if others were experiencing the same: "Let me know if I'm not the only one going through this." Despite having residency and her husband being a U.S. citizen, the desperation of not finding a job is growing, especially with a mortgage and other responsibilities to pay.
His video quickly went viral, accumulating thousands of interactions and comments from people living similar situations or offering advice. Among the most notable, a user confessed: "I haven't found a job in almost a year and I'm desperate, I have two kids." Others like @guero suggested looking for work in the construction field: "There is plenty of work in construction in Seattle and in painting as well," while others noted that the situation is tough for everyone, even for U.S. citizens.
Some followers pointed out that the problem is not the lack of jobs, but the demands of the candidates: "The problem is that they want an easy and well-paid job, to be in their comfort...". However, Davis responded by assuring that it is not a matter of preferences: "I could never get by working for $14 an hour or less." As the comments progressed, debates also emerged about the economic recession that seems to be affecting many sectors in the country.
There were those who, like Natalia, share the same anguish. "I've been out of work for a month and have applied to many places, but nothing, I'm a resident, I think something is going on," commented one user. Others offered support and encouragement, like someone who shared, "I was unemployed for three months, but luckily I'm working now, keep it up!"
Although some claim that there is still employment in certain areas of the country, Natalia is not the only one who has noticed that job opportunities are becoming increasingly limited. "The worst part is that all the companies advertise they are hiring, but you apply and they never call you," another person commented, frustrated. The conversation remains open, and more and more people are joining the debate about what is really happening in the job market in the United States.
