2. "eplacing an outdated jobs database that includes obsolete occupations like nut sorters "

well, it is the job is eliminated, how can they qualify if they only know how to sort nuts??
Seriously, many more folks will be more poor and more poor and more poor.




They also plan to modernize labor market data used to judge whether claimants can work, replacing an outdated jobs database that includes obsolete occupations like nut sorters and telephone quotation clerks, following a Washington Post investigation in 2022.

Living in Florida I've become quite good at sorting nuts. I run into so many on a daily basis.

11. I just checked indeed for nut sorter openings

Over 400 listings in the US. Unfortunately none were remote.

Most were in agriculture which I am guessing is hard to fill with all the migrants being deported.

There was one listing for a lobster sorter in Maine. Pays $20/hour. Guessing a lot of employees lose fingers in that job. Ouch.

They’re coming after disability and it will be based on your politics if you lose yours.
