anecdotally, the job market is tough. i think that a there are too many colleges and too many people have degrees, and fundamentally the lack of jobs are killing the american social contract (and other factors that you cannot fix anymore like immigration)
also, america is less of a country now than an economic zone, and the corporations inhabiting this nation realize that are acting vampiric … everything gone ya kno?

there will be far fewer jobs in the future until there is a boomerang effect in my opinion, or a change in the focus of the economy from producing bullshit (ai slop, tech slop, social media slop) to real things that require people

good point. how do you think this will come to pass?

Well, just go down the list of industries that employ the most people globally and realize that most of those could never be profitable in the United States due to high living costs from a higher general standard of living. Nobody likes to hear it but Americans are to a large extent spoiled, or at least our living standards are kept artificially high by regulations. In other words, it's impossible to be poor because the law simply doesn't allow those living conditions. If this could be reversed, I could see more job creation, but even then, I'm not sure many Americans would want to take those jobs. The only industry in which I see both job creation and decent wages is healthcare. Healthcare won't be replaced by robots within our lifetime. Nurses and doctors will be in increasing demand and I think they stand to gain the most over the coming decades.

There are too many smart people and not enough dumb people jobs, but all the smart people are taking the dumb people jobs

potatoes grow out of the ground and are free
weed grows out of the ground and are free
chickens eggs grows out of the ground and are free
salt comes out of the ocean and are free

why trouble yourself?

We live in an international economy. Our schools only teach national macroeconomics. There are many jobs which are desperate for skilled workers, in other countries. Skilled blue collar workers and entry level office workers in 3rd world countries are flourishing right now. American investors are also flourishing. Its just American workers who are struggling because any job that isnt nailed down is going overseas due to their emerging infrastructure and talent pool. Solutions? Destroy those cheap talent pools, invest in them yourself, American Juche. Whatever prevents you from competing with someone who works for a tenth of what you can work for.
