I had already been working a while post college when GFC happened, but I wasn’t knowledgeable enough in the system yet to understand, I was just out living my life and trusting that people that knew better would figure it out. But what I can say, is that normies won’t realize there’s a problem until companies start doing layoffs at the same time that all hiring freezes. That happens months after the initial headlines of failures and by that time the media cycle is on to some other problem, so that’s how people forget.
It was like that after 9/11 too, a lot of my friends had trouble finding jobs, and I think a bit of that was left over from the .com bubble.
All I can say is that there are always pockets of opportunity, so if you lose your job just keep pushing, people still need to have housing, health, food, electricity, water. People are resilient, people band together and figure it out.
