Hard to believe. A story aired that said birthrates are down by over 1 million. So concerns about enough people for jobs. Now the issue is college graduates not finding jobs?

There are plenty of shit jobs available. Ones that pay a living + enough to recoup the cost of education is what's in short supply. The Dipshit taking a bludgeon to the manufacturing and agricultural sectors didn't help either. Alienating our allies/largest markets are affecting jobs all across sectors

Anecdotally, I've been hearing from people here in Europe that in my high-skill niche, we're getting a while bunch of US refugees taking jobs.

Calling them “refugees” is odd. Also kinda undercuts real refugees who escaped a deadly environment.

Implying the us isnt becoming a deadly environment.

Most of the people i met who graduated from the same CS program as me did not find a job in their field.

This was in 2017

And it's only gotten worse
