| 0:00.0 | Don't know if you heard about this. |
| 0:01.8 | Amazon has come out and they have said they're going to lay off 9,000 employees in the next |
| 0:06.6 | coming weeks. Disney has also come out and said that they're laying off 4,000 employees. |
| 0:14.6 | They just laid off 7,000. They're getting ready to lay off 4,000 more. |
| 0:18.8 | I thought the economy was doing great. |
| 0:20.2 | And there was this article in the Wall Street Journal, |
| 0:23.3 | which you're too cheap to pay for. |
| 0:24.7 | Right. And it said that 27% of hiring managers reported |
| 0:29.1 | job postings stayed up for more than 4 months. |
| 0:32.2 | And over half of these managers said that they keep up the job opening the posting, |
| 0:38.6 | to give out the impression that the company was growing. |
| 0:41.7 | It's amazing you said that because I just had a conversation with a buddy of mine who's been |
| 0:46.2 | in radio for years the other day. And he was commenting on how many radio jobs are supposedly |
| 0:51.0 | available. And we're saying there's no way there's that many radio jobs actually available. |
| 0:54.9 | Right. And he's like, these companies have to be just maybe some of them just leaving them up. |
| 0:58.4 | Right. It's for the stockholders and the stakeholders. |
| 1:01.6 | Interesting. |
| 1:02.2 | Not for the actual people who want to be gainfully employed. |
