She left in 2023 and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/employment-job-market-surge-in-long-term-unemployed-workers-economy\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">hasn&#8217;t been able to find another job<\/a><\/span> since. She&#8217;s tried everything, she says, from reaching out to her network of friends, to working with a recruiter, to posting resume reels on LinkedIn. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The job market has been brutal for quite some time,&#8221; Groveman said. <\/p>\n<p>For one specific position, she said she went through 13 interviews with 11 different people at the company. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were stuck between me and the other candidate,&#8221; Groveman said. &#8220;And ultimately, they went with the other person, and I was like, &#8216;I can&#8217;t keep doing this.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the rejections piled up, so too have the bills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since March, I&#8217;ve been living off of my 401(k),&#8221; Groveman said. &#8220;\u2026I&#8217;ve been dipping into it every month now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Labor Department data, in August, nearly two million people in the U.S. faced long-term unemployment, defined as being out of work for at least 27 weeks. That&#8217;s the highest number since 2022, during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The primary reason we are seeing long-term unemployment getting worse is because of economic uncertainty coming out of the White House,&#8221; labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci said. <\/p>\n<p>Fuel has been added to\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jobs-manufacturing-trump-tariffs-economy\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">some of that uncertainty<\/a><\/span> recently by <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/government-shutdown-2025-latest-republicans-democrats-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the government shutdown<\/a><\/span> and an ongoing\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tariffs-furniture-lumber-kitchen-cabinets\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">flurry of tariffs<\/a><\/span> instituted by the Trump administration on nations across the globe. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jobless-claims-today-unemployment-benefits-highest-since-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">In early September<\/a><\/span>, the number of U.S. workers filing for unemployment benefits hit about 263,000, the highest mark since October 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ghilarducci believes that the job market is not going to improve &#8220;anytime soon.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If someone is looking for work now, it&#8217;s going to be tougher, more people looking for the job that you want,&#8221; Ghilarducci said. &#8220;And more and more businesses being reluctant to hire. It doesn&#8217;t mean you should stop, but the market will not ease up, for any time soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for Groveman, she&#8217;s given up on trying to find a job. In December, she plans to move to a Buddhist temple in Upstate New York, where she will get free housing for working at a retreat center.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you have the ability to work, you should be able to,&#8221; Groveman said. &#8220;And that&#8217;s how the American Dream happens. You pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and put in the work, and you&#8217;ll be rewarded. But that&#8217;s not happening anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n
