#Joblessness

[indizombie]

Indian media's collapse has meant that serious issues such as unemployment do not get the attention they deserve. Joblessness is not framed as a question of political accountability but is couched in technocratic language and buried in a maze of data and conflicting claims. Those who intruded into parliament reportedly told the police they were upset about high rates of unemployment. Youth unemployment in India is at around a staggering 23 percent, the highest for any major global economy and nearly double that of neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh. For graduates under 25, a report by the Azim Premji University estimates, this number rises to 42 percent. IT firms such as Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro have announced they will reduce the hiring of engineering graduates by 30 percent-reducing it by 40 percent from the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology-leaving thousands of freshly graduated students without jobs. Since the onset of the 2022 funding winter, 34,785 employees have been laid off by just 121 Indian startups, with 15,247 of them fired by 69 Indian startups so far this year. An improvement is unlikely. Pranjul Bhandari, the chief India economist at Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, estimates that while India will need to create 70 million jobs over the next decade, it will only end up with 24 million. Put simply, India's demographic dividend has turned into a demographic disaster.

Emergency help, money needed please!

I need at least $100 so I can buy groceries because everything is so fuckin expensive for no good reason. I am extremely desperate because I'm literally getting hungrier by the minute and the local food pantry has been closed due to weather.

I'm accepting money on cashapp since currently that is the only way for me to be able to immediately spend the money.

I've been jobless for over a year and currently my partners are also jobless, though not for a lack of trying. We've been consistently applying to jobs for the past three months, but no one can hire us because the state was apparently hacked sometime last year which has prevented potential employers from running background checks, and nobody around here will hire without one so we're completely fucked.

Whenever I’m sad about being unemployed I remember that I’m not one of the millions of retail workers who have to work on December 26

Fear

I have a feeling I don’t want to feel,

Embedded in me since life's early reel.

Rising in my chest, a gripping string,

Knots that tighten, a haunting thing.

It stalks me, this unwelcome guest,

Travels to my throat, steals my breath.

Leaves me parched, each swallow a pain,

Lips trembling, eyes stinging again.

Invading my thoughts, a constant fear,

A shadow I’ve known, always near.

Grew up with it, my silent companion,

Whispering doubts, a relentless canyon.

Not making my parents proud,

Failing as an older sibling allowed.

Clinging to friendship's fragile thread,

Money scarce, anxieties spread.

I want to feel pain, yet I hate it so,

Gripping me tight, refusing to let go.

I want to disappear into the night,

But fear holds me fast, draining my fight.

Losing to fear, its grip severe,

A battle within, year after year.
