Dave With an Idea To Help the Youth

In the newest Plain English episode, "The Job Market for Young People is Brutal," Derek Thompson talks to Rogé Karma about the reasons for the terrible job prospects for young people and how this is NOT all to be blamed on AI . . . the job market is bad for young people with college degrees and possibly worse for people without degrees and this stems from inflation and consequent higher interest rates, and the Great Resignation, and Trump caused ecosnomic volatility-- tariffs, trade wars, the Iran debacle-- and also certainly the ageing of our workforce, the fact that people are working longer, and the gigantic age wage gap . . . old people make so much more than young people now and it pushes adulthood back-- the ability of young people to buy a house, get married, move-out, and start a business or start-up-- and this lead sme to believe that a job like mine-- a teacher-- and also police, firemen, and probably a lot of other state jobs-- the salaries should be on a bell curve-- so that you make your highest salary when you are around 50 years old and then your salary starts to decline-- so that there's an incentive for you to leave and take you pension and not hang around forever and block young people from getting jobs.
