It’s going to get worse in Canada as inflation, taxes, currency devaluation etc. continue to make Canada economy even more dysfunctional.

Gen Z slander. It’s not just poor pay for corporate, white collar employees. The entire economy is really soft right now and there simply isn’t enough work.

@FirstNameLastName-wt5to Rather arrogant of you to be saying that. Someone who recently graduated form law school needs to be interned under an experience lawyer for (minimum) one year before they can go out on their own. Same story with medical professionals and engineers who also have to be interned for one or two years under the wing of an experience professional before that graduate student can go out on their own.

@FirstNameLastName-wt5to It’s not just the law profession. You see that exact same standard with medical doctors, teachers, professors, engineers, pilots, etc. etc. But what really upsets me are the guys who have ruined the barrier of entry for everyone else with their short sighted thinking.

Human Resources are all a bunch of drones who don’t know anything. A buddy of mine works as a software developer and he’s seen HR staff demand 5-10 years work experience for a piece of software that’s been out for less than 2 years.

It’s a similar situation here in North America. Unless you have strong social connections through friends, family, relatives, co-workers etc. you won’t be able to find any work related to what you studied in school. The only exception to that is if there is an economic boom going on in a particular sector (I.e.: Real Estate), then most companies will hire anyone off the street to fulfill the growing amount of work.

There are not enough jobs to go around anymore. Simple as that! Why increase the labor pool (I.e. higher immigration quotas) when you’ve offshored so many white and blue collar jobs overseas?

Sounds like Canadian employers. Most Canadian employers have forgotten what it means to compete for skilled labor and instead, would rather use corporate mass immigration to get their workers.

@ I’m not a big fan of sending your resume in online. If you don’t format your resume properly or the font size of your words are too big; they AI will assume the resume is blank and will just toss it out before your resume even reaches someone hiring desk. If your able to, it’s better to drop off your resume in person during business hours. A positive social interaction can go a long way for you.

When 98% of the news media is owned by a few wealthy individuals; it’s no surprise they’ll present their opinions as “truth.”

@ The only point that I see in working a full time job in the mainstream is the work experience and credentials gained. As America further crumbles, more and more people will form their own crews/communities and build their own closed economies trading and helping each other out. Kind of like Japan economy before 1850.

You should take a look at the robots that Boston Dynamics has already developed… Pretty soon, we’ll have AI replace many high skill white collar jobs and robots will replace many low skilled service collar jobs. “Middle skillsets” are the way to go!

I feel really sorry for all the Zoomers that got their brains scrambled up by the unrealistic demands of their parents, peers, school teachers etc. to go to a four year college and then graduate school. Most of these Zoomers have high student loan debt and going into an economy that is really soft.
