Last Updated on February 26, 2024 by Robert C. Hoopes
Tech layoffs have been causing concerns about job stability in various industries, with over 278,800 people being impacted between January 2023 and January 2024. As a result, many social media users are turning to platforms like TikTok for job advice.
One emerging trend is the preference for working for the federal government for its stability and benefits. Federal government employees typically have a higher median years of employment and enjoy perks such as flexible work arrangements, health insurance, retirement plans, and student loan repayment programs.
TikTok influencers are now promoting federal government jobs as an attractive option, sparking a debate among users on job security and benefits compared to the private sector. Career coach Chelsea Stokes has provided insight into the appeal of this government job trend, advising individuals to consider their personal needs and interests when making career decisions.
According to employment statistics from 2022, USAJobs.gov lists urgent job openings in various fields within the federal government. However, slow hiring is expected in January 2024.
Unfortunately, responses from TikTok influencers @bougiebudgeter and @tamzjadecomedy were not available at the time of this report. It is clear that the landscape of job stability is evolving, and individuals are seeking out opportunities that offer security and benefits in uncertain times.
