The fundamental problem here is that Ukrainians see what has happened wherever Putin has conquered - oppression, murder, stealing children - and do not want that for themselves or their loved ones

Maybe you're okay with Ukrainians being raped to death in torture chambers, but they aren't!

People’s experience in the labor market are pretty real. It does feel pretty tough going from an economy with 1.5-2 jobs open per unemployed to just below even, even if headline is holding up. Especially if they’re in a field that’s been attacked by the government - which is a lot of them.

I have a Masters from John’s Hopkins, a little field experience, and a lot of government experience.

Literally looking for anything to keep the dream alive. It’s been a year since completing my masters & volunteer works even hard to come by.

Any suggestions or boosts would be greatly appreciated!

& so people feel that. Especially in the labor market. Especially if they needed to grow to move forward. So relative to last year, their experience in the real world is worse than it was & the growth in front of them looks weaker. That’s tough if you were barely holding on last year & we did this

Technically you are correct but people kind of rely on expected real wage gains in the real world. We never like say “hey we’re even over the macro and that’s ok!”

We kind of expect real wage growth overall to keep up & when that goes down we do typically see less opportunities for growth in life
