Anyone who thinks this is a “good” thing are, at best, naive.
Long story short: For the vast majority of jobs, all that matters is having a college degree. Often not even in a vaguely related topic. Mostly because that provides a filter on job applications so that the hiring committee/person has time to go through the remaining applications.
Except, as anyone who has gone job hunting in the past year or two can tell you, the days of having fancy CVs/resumes and business cars are gone in favor of filling out a workday application for every single position and so forth. And that is because you are being put through filters based on specific listed skills, number of publications, etc. And those are increasingly “accelerated” through AI tools. And… AI is great at being biased as fuck.
So all this means is even more “studying for the application” as it were. Except instead of memorizing whatever algorithm or question a given company will ask, you need to do specific online courses from specific outlets and add specific keywords to your job history and so forth.
Fucking really? You see a guy walking with two canes who needs to sit in the disabled section, and you tell them no? Then you call the cops? Do people in wheelchairs get turned away from that location as well? Morons…
This woman will end Union (or at least tries her hardest) as we know it. She’s the biggest union buster and she’s proud of it. Corporation love her so much
If this weren’t just a rage-bait article that gets recycled every year, I would say good. There is a portion of consumers who compulsively buy and return, with never any intention of keeping and using the product. They just like clicking ‘Buy’.
(I personally think the behavior is a sign of emotional ill-health)
Anytime you read about the economy booming, it refers EXCLUSIVELY to the Stock Market, no other metric. The stock market is a direct indicator of economic theft. It records how much economic activity/value is stolen from workers and transferred directly to stockholders.
So yeah, by that metric the US is killing it. By any practical measure, though… Not so much.
