I like to be a glass-half-full kind of person. These new graduates should be encouraged that individuals at the highest level of our government had no experience whatsoever when they were hired, so there is hope.

If only employers behaved they way they might have voted.

AI related?

davidjohnurban.bsky.social•6 days ago

I feel sorry for young folks in America under Trump that do not have the opportunities that I benefited from when starting out. Biden/Harris and democratic congress tried to move that in the right direction with Infrastructure/Rescue/Chips/IRA acts. Now, all big tech money going to AI data centers

davidjohnurban.bsky.social•6 days ago

that will destroy the planet with energy consumption and replace the jobs that used to be the first rung on the ladder for folks starting out. Trump with tariffs is closing American factories and laying off workers since they cannot get the parts they need. Replaced with lights out foreign factories

davidjohnurban.bsky.social•6 days ago

that happen to be physically located inside America but run by folks in other countries. The destruction of Universities and government research by MAGA and loss of jobs in government further restricts opportunities for America's youth. This is just the beginning. Things will get much worse unless

davidjohnurban.bsky.social•6 days ago

MAGA can be stopped. Keep up the protests and let's work to win in midterms and 2028.

If illegal immigrants work for a fraction of what Americans work for, the best way to "muh tax the rich", is for those rich to hire Americans at higher wages so more taxes get paid. Why is the left so stupid?

duskydesert.bsky.social•6 days ago

its probably like 50% if you want one in a relevant field

screamingsclady.bsky.social•6 days ago

One stat puts male graduates as high as 10%.

screamingsclady.bsky.social•6 days ago

True story. If you don’t know someone/get an application into an online portal within a day of a job listing you’ll never be seen. I thought my generation struggled graduating in 91 but it’s far more difficult for these kids & yes they are trying & working other jobs while trying to get a “real job”

metoxil.bsky.social•6 days ago

Factory and farm jobs coming soon 😂😂😂

gordon404.bsky.social•6 days ago

Don’t forget those sweet, sweet robot repair jobs!

wwwilliedo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Nutlick will have them re-assembling 🇨🇳 Trump phones in the USA!

Chinese factories are disassembling them right now for shipping to MarLago.

pipercat.bsky.social•6 days ago

How is it possible with all of the firings from govt jobs the unemployment hasn’t risen?

alwaysimback.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because the "numbers" are not real due to the fact that the entire process as well as the employees putting those numbers together do not exist anymore.

annmariepisano.bsky.social•6 days ago

A lot of them are still getting paid bc of the court cases, even though they're dismissed from jobs. Great system!

sloanthenavigator.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is by design and intentional IMO

middlerage.bsky.social•6 days ago

AI can do most entry level office jobs. Do the math.

duskydesert.bsky.social•6 days ago

college grads really don't do those anymore.

duskydesert.bsky.social•6 days ago

as in they have been gone for a while

alwaysimback.bsky.social•6 days ago

Neighbor's daughter finding admin/reception jobs that ask all the typical skills, but then at the end of the litany, say that you need an accounting or finance degree because "occasionally you will assist Finance" for $17/hr. LOL they want an accountant but will not pay for an accountant.

screamingsclady.bsky.social•6 days ago

And so where do young people begin today? We understand AI-but what can we do?

middlerage.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don’t feel good about my answer. Honestly, I feel terrible. I don’t know. 😕

meganbearce.bsky.social•6 days ago

For teens too. Many in our town have 15-16 year olds who can’t find jobs.

anne135.bsky.social•6 days ago

All due to AI

averagejoesoap.bsky.social•6 days ago

Anyone checked the number of graduates immigrating to find work abroad?

longleafpine2024.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wouldn't this indicate it's hard to find work? If you lose your job ur basically screwed. Not good.

andyc300.bsky.social•6 days ago

Tip of the spear on this, I fear.

drdoofenschmirtz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Between AI and trade/tariff debacle, it’s not getting better anytime soon. If hiring doesn’t pickup after long term tariff deals, that is a very dark sign of what’s to come

hectorkatz.bsky.social•6 days ago

At least when I was a new grad, you would get the courtesy of a rejection letter. My son gets no reply at all from 95% of his applications. How much does a email reply cost?

swgeneralmills.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump Economy

bluebluechristmas.bsky.social•6 days ago

Would be better if Americans were hired at higher wages vs illegals at a fraction of the price. Wanna close the gap and tax the rich? This is the way

ideologyeater.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope that you receive exactly what you deserve tbh

bluebluechristmas.bsky.social•6 days ago

You as well. I'll pray for that. 🙏🏽

swgeneralmills.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not sure I follow.

ideologyeater.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh this guy fucking sucks but it's wrong to tell a guy you hope he dies

swgeneralmills.bsky.social•6 days ago

Did I do that?

ideologyeater.bsky.social•6 days ago

Or at least it's something I try not to do

jeromecylin.bsky.social•6 days ago

You can have a job if you pledge your lives to the Trump family.

notimeforbs.bsky.social•6 days ago

To make matters worse, skepticism is becoming commonplace for any numbers released by a dep't with Trump loyalist and DOGE oversight.

jaredcantor.bsky.social•6 days ago

Next time you talk with Cramer about AI, I wish you'd bring up the possibility that government (pressured by voters) restricts the use of AI and bans companies from replacing workers with AI

camiam21.bsky.social•6 days ago

And many of them face mountains of student loans that will start coming due in 6 months.

wbxy1986.bsky.social•6 days ago

Student loans --> stooogent debt , just another Republican grift scam resulting in a completely depleted home grown STEM workforce, especially those requiring grad skool
