  • So:

    The average reservation wage of U.S. jobs seekers — the lowest annual pay workers would accept for a new job — climbed to a record high of $78,645 in July, up from $72,873 at the same time last year, according to the survey.

    Combined with:

    Yet the average full-time wage offer received in the past four months was $69,475, itself a marked increase from $60,764 last July.

    So that’s a ~13.5% increase in full-time wage offers vs a ~7.5% increase in ask. This seems like a non-story then, yes? Inflation has pushed wages higher which has pushed expectations higher. However, the offer increase is higher than the ask increase so… Am I missing something here?




  • I hate how “hack” is used for any kind of breach. This is 100% credential re-use or a shit password:

    The attackers appear to be using leaked credentials or brute-forcing to attempt to take control of a large number of LinkedIn accounts.

    And

    For accounts that are appropriately protected by strong passwords and/or two-factor authentication, the multiple takeover attempts resulted in a temporary account lock imposed by the platform as a protection measure.

    That’s not to say LinkedIn isn’t a steaming pile of garbage, but to say this is a “hack” is disingenuous.
