wow this is getting crazy

Shouldn't have majored in "Performative Feminism" and earned a real degree that actually benefits society and commerce.

>>212905817
Do you really 33% of college students are now pursuing feminism degrees compared to 10 years ago?

>tfw 1997 zoomer with a full time job in my field

>muh AI took our jeeeerbs

>>212907559
nobody cares about your "full time job" grandpa

>>212907590
kind of a non-descriptive statistic in this context

layoffs in the US from the 1970s to 2010 were mostly manufacturing due to offshoring. The idea of regular layoffs of white collar employees, especially in times of high profit, is pretty bizarre.

Damn... The situation is truly getting crazy...

>>212907590
Which companies are actually saying they're laying off because of AI? The big tech companies are doing it because they want more H1B slaves

>>212907775
Not only that, but they're also creating hype around AI by pretending it's at a stage where people are laid off by the masses.

>>212905498 (OP)
another piece of evidence for economic being mostly fake/false.

Economists are an anti-democratic priest class.

>>212907880
Yeah that's why I don't buy that idea at all. Microsoft has to force their employees to use AI because all the C suite retards chasing investor hype bux don't really understand the technology. It's great at impressing old people in short bursts but anyone that has to use it starts to learn that filtering out all the blatantly wrong shit it spews out just isn't worth the effort.

Also all search engines are shit now as a bonus, lmao

>Gen Z Graduates
isn't that like 60% women now?

>>212907880
the film and tv industry did the same thing with streaming, all of the execs and ceo assholes thought it was the next big thing and jumped on board
they tried to phase out physical media sales (DVDs and such) and walled all their content onto streaming sites which, after years, they're finally polluting with ads
and now they're losing money on their streaming sites but they've already bailed on their old business model (which had better revenue) and can't go back

>>212907521
That anon is being hyperbolic, but yes, there is an epidemic of useless Bachelor's Degrees.

The number of college graduates like tripled between 1980-2020, and degrees that used to be valuable have become worthless.
Business and Life Sciences degrees in particular have oversaturated the market. They're as replaceable as Social Sciences and Humanities.

It's now easier to find high paying work with a trade than it is to find an entry level white collar job that isn't engineering.

>>212907693
it wasn't because of offshoring, it was because of automation.

>>212908912
in china

I'm from a rust belt town. The factories didn't reduce their workforces, they closed down altogether as Harvard MBAs in charge of American businesses moved all manufacturing to China or Mexico to 10x profits

>>212908879
Finding a good trade job is increasingly difficult too.

>>212907521
>>212907590
It's because of the massive amount of H1B immigrants that capitalist companies are exploiting. I'm in engineering and I have to compete at job fair/ interviews with a bunch of people that are 1st gen immigrants. literal 20 year olds that immigrated here when they were 5-10 years old and now are attending university

>>212905498 (OP)
Most jobs are slave cogs for the ZOG and this us why we refuse to work.

>>212907521
>gobberment notices that college graduates are richer and better off than most
>gobberment gets bright idea to heavily push for more people to go to collage, makes funding possible with loans
>market gets flooded with supply
>once prestigious degrees now worthless
once again state intervention in the free market fucks everyone

They just don't have hands on education and can't problem solve in a group. They don't have discussion skills. It's a huge problem in political science courses. But then let's say they get a job as a manager of a store or warehouse and no idea how to wire or how wiring works. They don't know basic principles of machinery.
In political science classes they are constantly checked by professors for basic logic failure,common sense and communication issues

They say a lot but have no points. They just attack each other. It results in zoomers asking each other series of tangential questions as a way of arguing, if you let them go it goes on for a long time. I work as an adjunct prof and a handyman. If im not in a poli sci class I'm building part of a home.

Oh and they are terrible at math it's just stunning. Most of them have never touched calculus and think they have valid predictions on politics. You cannot talk about politics in an informed way if you can't do calculus and your vocabulary is shit. "neoliberal" always gets put down when used wrong and it's funny

Ever think suicide might be right for you

how does my flag invalidate my point?

no, i'm not a tranny like you

who the fuck even buys dvd anymore? laptops these days don't even have dvd reader.

>>212905817
I have friends with Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering degrees that can't find anything, and it's been two years we graduated.

>>212909536

>>212905817
Shut the fuck up gramps, STEM here and still nothing after 2 years

>>212910018
I have a computer science degree and I take 911 calls. I apply to hundreds of low paying help desk jobs and I don't get any bites.

Granted, I live in one of the worst states in the country, but I don't think it's an isolated issue.

>>212910788
Which one exactly?

>>212910793
If you can't get a job with a computer science degree you must be a complete fuckup without any actual contributions. The US is desperate for tech workers.

>>212910793
I'm from California and it's supposedly one of the best places for that, but yeah my friends with a degree in Computer Science are also struggling just as bad.

>>212909496
That's the beauty of globalization chud. You will compete with 25-year old Raj/Zhang as the only American in your class.
>>212909864
Kek, I can only imagine how much of a shitshow it would be to have a class of zoomers in a political/social studies class. They probably pull out quotes from their streamer that they watch

>>212910943
that's just something they say on the news

in reality every sector has an oversupply of labor

>>212911141
It's not. There are at least twenty job openings where I work, and nobody ever applies.

>>212911166
where do you live?

I live in Indiana and even here every job ad offering $12/hr for experienced candidates still gets swamped with hundreds or even thousands of applications

I make $30/hr working for the city and I still apply for that shit just hoping I can get on the ladder and actually work in my field

>>212911230
At certain point you'll realize the Continental United States is just a buccees for the rich of the world. That's all it is. You got your fuel, gift shops,little parks, whores outside trying to get a lift, no one is really making anything besides guns to protect the Rich's property and fuel and food. But otherwise that's it. No one really owns anything. It all can be taken to build a Walmart or another buccees. It wasnt always liked that. You could make 35 an hour in a factory easy in Indiana in 2014. Now this gilded age.

>>212911488
>just a buccees for the rich of the world

>>212911488
now postings for manufacturing jobs here are like "must speak fluent spanish ($10/hr)"
