"If you applied to a job at a job board the odds of you getting hired is just.... 3%"

"asking employers how hard they are trying to fill vacancies the answer is... not very."

It is for the Rich...and they bought out the Democrats so much that so many of them don't even act like there is any one else that matters...and its getting damn infuriating. Of course the Republicans are worst...but its feeling more and more like the entire Government is just a puppet for the rich to the point where it all but is like all the dystopian futures...

We really are coming at the point where a good chunk of humans are just not needed faster then most thought...we either come to terms with the reality of that or it blows up in everyone's faces. Sadly many have made it clear they would rather have the Purge then Universal Income.

It is.

The issue is that this is as good as it gets for us in a late stage capitalistic society.

I dont think people who make videos like this actually interact with younger people on a regular basis. Or at all.

Can't get a job to buy that used car with the new car sales tag or pay that mortgage on a house that isn't worth the price the market says it is. Great times we live in.

Most hiring managers get flooded with applicants and just treat you as a number at the bottom of their priorities.

I actually saw this video a few days ago. As someone who is in the job market myself, I can attest to you, the accuracy of this video.

Most employers pay what I would consider to be fairly little for the work, they are asking of, or ask for an absorbent amount of experience.

Its definitely tough out there.
