AI Job Market Lag?

I've seen some interesting news which highlighted a labor statistic that hasn't changed in 4 years - the functional unemployment rate. Do we anticipate the regular unemployment rate to go up? I decided to check on my old finance position in the job market to see if I could get some hours. I had an interesting find when using AI as my agent. All the places it recommended as "destination cities" for value ended up being terrible job markets, despite promising "Excellent" as an identifiable matrix. Has anyone else had this problem? This would be the first time in about 2 years where I've had no idea what the commercial-grade AI has inferred.
