Welcome to That $weet $alary Podcast with your hosts Ben Harris & Emily Green! Today’s episode goes out to everyone struggling with unemployment in 2024, especially those feeling misunderstood by family. We dive into the story of a listener who’s been tirelessly job hunting for months, applying to everything from retail to professional roles, only to face dead ends and rising debt. Ben and Emily explore the challenges unique to today’s job market—like how entry-level roles are no longer a quick hire—and share strategies for managing family expectations when they just don’t understand. Tune in for practical advice on maintaining your sanity, handling well-meaning but tough family members, and staying motivated on the job search when times are tough.
