Long-term joblessness continues to edge higher. Nearly a quarter of unemployed workers in November were stuck searching for work for at least 6 months—that's 24.3%, climbing from 23.6% in September and 23.1% a year prior. This persistent unemployment trend reflects broader labor market sluggishness, which could influence consumer spending power and broader economic sentiment affecting risk asset demand.

Long-term unemployment has risen again, and these numbers really can't be sustained... Consumer spending capacity is dropping straight down.

The long-term unemployment rate has risen again, and this data is just hard to look at... The risk of declining consumption power will also cause risk assets to suffer.

Long-term unemployment is also rising again. This ratio is really becoming more and more outrageous; it feels like everyone around is saying it's hard to find a job.

ngl the 24.3% long-term unemployment statistic is giving major market inefficiency vibes... like we're literally watching consumer velocity decay in real-time and nobody's pricing this into risk assets yet lmao

The long-term unemployment rate has risen again. Is it over now... How long can risk assets sustain if consumer spending drops?

Damn, long-term unemployment is still rising? Well, guess my spending power will continue to decline.

The long-term unemployment rate has risen again, which weakens consumer spending even more. The crypto world is about to suffer.

Once again, the unemployed population has increased... 24.3% have been unable to find a job for over 6 months, how tough must that be? --- Long-term unemployment is rising, and consumer spending will surely be dragged down. The crypto circle needs to be cautious. --- Unable to find a job for half a year? With this data out, risk assets are probably going to cool off. --- Long-term unemployment is climbing, and the economic fundamentals are worrying. Only the brave dare to buy high-risk assets now. --- It's over. Long-term unemployment has hit a new high, and this delay in economic recovery is inevitable.
