Why You Can't Find A Job (Even With A Degree)
Description
The U.S. job market is sending warning signs. Black unemployment is rising, a Princeton Ph.D. has applied for more than 2,300 jobs, AI is rejecting applicants without human interaction, and millions of skilled-trades jobs are expected to open in the coming years. So why are so many workers struggling to find employment?
On this episode, we examine the growing disconnect between economic headlines and workers’ reality. We explore racial inequality in unemployment, the white-collar hiring freeze, AI-powered recruitment, and the skilled-trades worker shortage.
