What a load of bravo sierra. This is one of the best job markets ever.
You are absolutely right.
The problem is that most of these new graduates are expecting 6 figure incomes the instant they depart academia.
Many jobs are entry-level or internship positions, but what kind of company gives 60,000+ annually to a 22 year old kid with a liberal arts degree?
Geez,
All the good excuses have been taken and they all missed the real cause of the poor job market. Try this for a real reason.
The socialists have taken control of the US government and since the late 1970’s they have been exporting all major industry from the nation. Now the major industries normally cause the creation of smaller supporting industries. The higher paid industrial workers spend money and create other jobs in the area. All of which is lost when the industries are exported.
Paul Volker said in 1981, Americans have the highest standard of living in the world. No other nation can hope to attain this standard of living. Therefore, we must reduce the standard of living of Americans. (Pure egalitarian thought.)
Notice that no credit is given for the educated work force, the willingness of the workers to work smart and hard, and the economic environment which promoted enterprise. Not that the socialists didn’t know that these conditions existed. They immediately start attacks on all of these areas.
Education was attacked by the Department of Education created by Jimmy Carter in 1978. Yes, Jimmy Carter has acknowledged being a socialist. The NEA teachers union supplied the means and method. Workers may still be motivation to work hard, but the a great deal of the smarts were not included in the educational process. The process is commonly called the Dumbing of America.
The economic environment was attacked by a mountain of restrictions and regulations which were intended to create burdens and obstacles for industry while driving up costs. At the same time, the government actually aided industries monetarily and diplomatically that wanted to leave the country. The markets remained available to the leaving industries by ‘free trade’ regulations. The Global agenda is a Marxist socialist program .
Now, why are there no decent entry level jobs?
Take a socialist out for lunch.
