Description

On this week’s TLO Headlines, Aaron and Matt dive into China’s bizarre new trend: young people paying to pretend they have jobs just to ease the stigma of unemployment. They also unpack ICE’s eye-catching $50,000 sign-on bonuses and student loan perks in a massive recruitment drive, and break down how AI impostors are fooling hiring systems—forcing companies to drag interviews back in-person. Along the way, they explore what these stories reveal about work, identity, and trust in a rapidly shifting job market.
