Educated young men feeling stunted as many now struggle to find work — could a ‘he-cession’ be on the horizon?

Well, looks the feminists got what they wanted.

young women majoring in sociology, studies, now have better job prospects than young men who major in engineering...

praying Trump tells these groveling tech bro CEOs sucking up to him to go pound sand and revoke ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE H-1B visas so these jobs can go to young American men.

we do not need people who can barely speak English fulfilling roles at rates that undercut Americans..

“____ Studies” graduates.

It's not just high-skilled tech workers.

Were it not for Third World immigrats, native born manual laborers would also be facing brighter prospects.

He went to a middle-tier school, and took computer science. Often, these programs are not that good, and teach older technology. Typically, this is the sort of routine work you can have done in India.

In July 2025, the U.S. unemployment rate was at 4.2% — which, historically speaking, is rather low. But that doesn’t mean that all job seekers are thriving.

Trying to spin Trump's performance into something bad.

I’d wager this young man is still more mature and qualified than a victims’ studies graduate from a poison ivy league school

End H-1B visas.

[central_va]

Bull ship

[alternatives?]

DEI still exists in many HR departments particularly in the stem fields.

If Trump ends H-1B visa he would be a hero.

He’s probably not doing a good job identifying real opportunities and applying for them effectively. With a major such as his, he should have been doing internships throughout college, which would have set him up, ideally with one of those employers, for his first fulltime job.

‘he-cession’ will son come to close.

President Trump is bringing in about 15 trillion bucks of new capitol investment into the US to rebuild our depleted industrial base.

This is not going to get done by a bunch of DEI hires.

[central_va]

Blame the victim? Some of you Freepers are UFB.

[millenial4freedom]

it could certainly be an issue on the young man profiled, but a 2.5% gap between the unemployment rate for male grads and female grads is very wide and suggests something rotten is happening in the labor market

I checked the health care providers on a hospital’s site near me. There were thirty-two NPs, only one was male.

[central_va]

Depressing post.

About 13% of nurse practitioners are men, while 87% are women. This reflects a significant gender imbalance in the profession.

“An NBC News analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data finds that the unemployment rate among men ages 23 to 30 with a bachelor’s degree has reached 6%. By comparison, the unemployment rate among women with a bachelor’s degree in that same age range is 3.5%.”

Seems to me more and more news programs and even ads are now dominated by women with many the ads showing men doing housekeeping jobs that used to be dominated by women. They can portray men however they want but I expect if China or Russia ever declares war on the US I want to see all those fighting women line up at recruiting offices to volunteer to join the military and take on those enemies much like young men did after Pearl Harbor.

a computer science bachelor’s degree

Does not sound like a "studies" degree to me.

That has nothing to do with the headline (is H1B visa related).
