The US Tracks Your Money Anywhere on Earth. It Just Won't Say How Many Americans Left

from It Gets Late Early

The American career stability crisis is real, and it’s not a coincidence. We’re seeing a massive shift in how employers view workers, and it’s creating a talent drain that could fundamentally change the future of work. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a systemic issue that’s been building for years, and it’s more than just AI layoffs.Here’s what’s happening: The U.S. government tracks your financial activity anywhere on the planet, but they won’t release how many Americans are leaving. They know, but they don’t want you to know. Meanwhile, other countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada are actively recruiting skilled American workers with tax breaks and fast-track visas. These countries are offering real alternatives, and people are listening–and leaving.I’ll show you how the U.S. job market has hit a breaking point, and why more and more experienced workers are seeking opportunities abroad. But it’s not just about burnout. American institutions are pushing workers out through AI layoffs, forcing full-time employees into contractor roles, and offering "return-to-office" mandates that even C-suite executives see as a strategy to make people quit.If you’re feeling like the system isn’t working for you anymore, you’re not alone. The career stability crisis didn’t start with AI, and it won’t end with the next earnings report. But we need to start seeing the system for what it is and push back against the terms.These are the Instagram posts I mentioned:-https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUZpCtKCatq/?igsh=MWtzYXpiM3F6YWt0Mg%3D%3D-https://www.instagram.com/reel/DURjLRrkhsB/?igsh=d3F2bmNtbHkwbmpyIn This Episode:- Why Americans are looking for job opportunities abroad- Burnout hits a 6-year high: The state of worker wellbeing in the U.S.- Why the career stability crisis isn’t a coincidence- How Germany, the Netherlands, & Canada are actively recruiting American talent- How the U.S. government tracks your money, but not your movement- The institutional knowledge loss as a result of companies pushing out experienced workersAnd much more!Resources:-Get Corporate-level Health Coverage for Solopreneurs with a 50% Discount for 1st Three Months - https://essentlcreator.com/maureenCheck the links below for information on opportunities to work abroad: -https://www.workinfinland.com/en/open-jobs/?category=ict-https://www.nyidanmark.dk/de-DE/You-want-to-apply/Work/Positive-List-Higher-Education-https://careers.state-of-denmark.com/?hsCtaAttrib=210799380565Connect with Maureen Wiley Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram: @maureenwclough - https://www.instagram.com/maureenwclough-YouTube: @itgetslateearly - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGrHwk-y7ERaq7bCSjZYf1A?sub_confirmation=1Affiliate Disclaimer:Hey there!
