“My biggest chances of getting a job in the U.S. kind of tanked,” he said, because of the recent layoffs. “In my future, if I want to go to the U.S., that depends on the recovery of these companies.” At colleges and universities, interest in computer science soared during the most recent tech boom. The number of U.S. students majoring in the subject jumped from 37,015 in the 2011-2012 academic year to 135,992 a decade later, according toEngineering overall has become the fourth most popular area of study at U.S.
Next year they will hire again. New manufacturing plants will be opening and will need all those tech workers.
I graduated from computer science in the summer of 2000, just as the y2k bug was solved and the streets were filled with unemployed programmers with 10 more years’ experience than me. THAT really sucked. Never went back - had to pivot.
Trump would not have stood for this bs. Lack of jobs? Don't blame previous admin. Dems have the president n both houses. Will only get worse, much worse.
Learn how to pitchfork
Should have went to trade school
Now they have to actually get a real job!
...thanks to the Republican border agenda, I hear there's a lot of field worker, house cleaning, janitorial, landscape positions open...
They can thank the current admin..
Gender studies is making a comeback.
This has to be wrong. Joe Biden told me that the job market was great and they are adding jobs. Surely he’s not lying!?!?
Almost as if the tech job market isn’t a constant flux of ebb and flow
Thank a democrat for the Biden economy.
Wait a minute, wasn’t your Messiah president Brandon, just bragging about the strongest economy, and all the jobs he’s created?
The military is hiring....
Tech companies aren't the only companies who use and rely on tech. I suggest young adults find a level of reality and look for tech jobs at some of the Nation's top Forbes 100 companies. There's some big names in that list.
starting to sound like the obama years again
Joe Biden strikes again.
I hear Starbucks is hiring. McDonald’s also.
Yay central banking!
SukolVentures

Democrats caused this in 2008. I'm sure this will be worse.

TwitterFiles
Better call your cult leader
I hear Twitter is hiring.
Throw out the H1b visa holders displacing native talent..
We need ditch diggers too.
We should retool those job seekers to become virologists and immunologists.
I guess you’ll see a lot of GenXer’s being baristas and living with their parents.
And the president is pushing to bring in tens of thousands of immigrants who will lower salaries in the remaining positions. Glad the youth vote is destroying their economic prospects. The irony is awesome
Welcome to 1991 where you take any temp job offered, have multiple roommates, and a night out is $1 drinks and late night Taco Bell!
Feels like when I graduated in 2002- took a job that I didn’t even need a degree for out of necessity and that was the first time I realized that college is not the key to the big job, humbling moment at 21 when the narrative was always different
Take a look at USAJOBS. The Government hires tons of IT people.
Yeah…I graduated college in 2008 in the midst of the Great Recession and housing market crash. Welcome to the suck, kids. It doesn’t get better.
This is bullshit do not listen to this garbage
But no reporting on twitter cover up? Hm….. fake news still at it.
Except cybersecurity.
Evening news is not reporting the truth about Twitter and Facebook silencing the biggest scandal in the history of the USA. CORRUPT NEWS ORGANIZATION. What happened to our country…
Should have gone to a TECHnical school😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yet the White House and the media (including ) have been saying the economy is booming. There is no recession. Inflation? What inflation? Stop propping up a failed presidency. Stop propping up inflationary policies. You're allowing the country to go head first into doom.
But the economy is good. There isn't a recession.
Not the government! The government is still looking for applicants
School system is an brainwash system No meaning to attend to learn, use as a library is better now
The money printing and the government spending are the root causes of inflation
Plastics
Going to college for a generic degree is a huge waste of 💰.. college is becoming irrelevant
