Until last year, Madelyn Machado, 33 years old, worked for Meta . Except she says she didn’t really work at all.

A mystery permeates the job market: You apply for a job and hear nothing, but the ad stays online for months. Not all job ads are attached to actual jobs, it turns out. The labor market remains robust, with 10.8 million job openings in January, according to the Labor Department. At the same time, companies are feeling budgetary strains and some are pulling back on hiring. Though businesses are keeping job postings up, many roles aren’t being filled, recruiters say.

Many companies that provide child care say it helps them recruit working parents. On-site daycare is a rarity in American workplaces, but new government incentives and companies eager to attract and retain talent could soon make that benefit more common. The Biden administration last week outlined a novel proviso in its $53 billion plan to revitalize the U.S. semiconductor industry. Chip makers seeking manufacturing subsidies under the Chips Act are expected to ensure employees have access to affordable, quality child care. It didn’t spell out how companies should provide or pay for the care, but the “commitment will be essential to getting people—especially women—into the workforce,” the Commerce Department said.

When she lost her job at Google last month, Jingjing Tan started worrying about her dog, an energetic, 75-pound German shepherd. As a foreign worker living in the U.S. on a temporary work visa, if she couldn’t find a job within 60 days, she feared she might have to return to her home country, China. In big Chinese cities, where tech jobs are, keeping large dogs as pets often isn’t allowed.

The message, sent to his personal inbox, directed him to a website for newly laid-off Google employees and told him to set up an account. He went to check his work email and found he was locked out. The news was real: Mr. Joslin, a 20-year company veteran, had been laid off with a template email, one of roughly 12,000 workers Google’s parent, Alphabet , said this month it was letting go.
