- Solana offers 237 job opportunities, highlighting growth despite Yakovenko’s frustration with U.S. employment policies.
- Yakovenko argues for potential local job creation in tech and blockchain thwarted by inefficient government actions.
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder and CEO of Solana, has openly criticized the Biden administration for its role in the global distribution of jobs within the Solana ecosystem. Yakovenko argues that many of these positions, ideally suited for California or other U.S. locations, have been outsourced overseas due to what he describes as governmental inefficiency.
Yakovenko’s critique emerges amidst broader concerns regarding the U.S. labor market, which recent data suggests is experiencing a slowdown. According to the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) from the U.S. Department of Labor, job openings decreased to 7.7 million, a drop from the previous 8.18 million and lower than the expected 8.1 million.
All these jobs could have been in California or 🇺🇸 had our state and federal governments not been completely incompetent https://t.co/9TUf6yHBal

This reduction is seen as an indication of a cooling labor market and might influence the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy towards a more dovish approach.
In contrast to the national job creation trends, Yakovenko highlights the robust job market within the Solana community.
Austin Federa, Head of Strategy at the Solana Foundation, notes that there are currently 237 open positions listed on Solana’s community job board, suggesting significant growth and opportunities within the network.
“With 237 jobs open on Solana’s community job board, there’s truly never been a better time to jump into a Solana project.” – Austin Federa
Federa extends an invitation to individuals and projects interested in joining the Solana ecosystem, offering support in various areas including infrastructure development, ecosystem connections, and marketing.
Despite these opportunities, Yakovenko expresses frustration over the administration’s failure to capitalize on the potential for job creation within the United States. He believes that with more effective governance, many of these jobs could have been kept on American soil, specifically in tech-savvy regions like California, which are known for fostering innovation.
Yakovenko’s criticisms reflect a broader dissatisfaction with how the U.S. government is managing employment opportunities, particularly in high-tech industries, at a time when the global competition for such jobs is increasingly fierce.
