The proffered example is a case study in Jew Daycare. The college graduates a they/them female with a random degree who then attempts:

  1. State Department paper-pusher job (#1 choice, but downsized thanks to Hispanic Hitler Marco Rubio)
  2. law firm office job (denied)
  3. school district admin bloat job (denied)
  4. college admin bloat job (director of "community outreach" at college that crapped out the degree). DING DING DING winner!
  5. future plans step 1: go back to grad school to attain second random degree.
  6. future plans step 2: Reapply to State Department paper-pushing.

At every step, the "jobs" would not exist without feminist and diversity mandates, and in fact, because of Trump, they are slowly crumbling away. The college can afford to employ her... until the BBB limitations on Pell Grants kick in.

The whole loop of get a degree - can't get a job - get another degree is the biggest indicator of failed critical thinking in society.

The Middle-Managerial Recruitment Program is afraid.

Another addition is that many companies found out that they can sell data. And another data they can collect is all the information in job applications, so just post a few jobs, get hundreds to thousands of applications from people looking for work, hire nobody since it's not critical to keeping the company running and sell their information.

They get to not spend the money to hire, train and pay a new employee and they get to make money by giving other companies all of your information.

I forgot where I saw it, but there was a study that showed more than half of jop postings on the internet were fake. Some were just data collection, others were companies signalling fake growth.

It was super common in the Obama days for companies to attend job fares with no intention of hiring anyone, because they received government money to attend job fares as part of economic stimulus, with no requirement to hire anybody.

I remember showing up, dressed sharp in a suit, and being confused as to why the recruiters all looked bored and wouldn't even look at anyone's resume. (Luckily I did find a job there, but only 5 of the companies at a job fair with around a hundred employer booths seemed to be hiring at all, and only 3 in my field. One said they one interview me the next day, which impressed me, and I got the job)

I later happened to meet one of the job fair organizers and he explained the tax credit situation. He said the job fair (run by a mega-church as a ministry) cracked down and permabanned any "employers" that couldn't show they had hired interviewed anyone (he said the overwhelming majority would not even sign a sheet saying they had conducted an interview) so they couldn't take up booths that could be used for companies actually interested in hiring, so the next year was apparently better.
