I'm always annoyed when I hear this type of thing because every college grad i've ever met has been left equal or better off than their peers who don't have degrees with regards to their age-cohort. People across the board are underemployed for their educational background.
I remember when they published these articles about millenials too.

Maybe, but you probably don't know a lot of people in the trades. This article is bad, sure, but I know a lot of college grads in "respected" professions earning way less than people that went into trades. I wouldn't have met most of these tradespeople had my life not taken me in a circuitous path, and I'd be comparing my college grad friends to my couldn't get into college/did poorly in college friends. I know people who should have been in a trade and instead went to college and did poorly and now can't get work. Their family was doing what they thought was right but they were failed by this idea that they needed college. College isn't for everyone and we should do a better job of making robust education to employment opportunities funnels that don't just amount to college and networking.
We also need better employment laws so that working as a cashier or stocking shelves can still pay the bills for your family.

maybe capitalism is a bad deal?

This is a really stupid article. It doesn't study how many college level jobs are there. The problem with IT unemployment is money dried up for startups as a result of higher interest rates and employers trying to do more with less to squeeze out as much performance in what is likely a recession.
Lmfao. I mean, overpopulation vs job availability is certainly a big issue. Mix that with the fact that I can’t ever retire and that I have to do 1.5 jobs just means that employers aren’t gonna take a chance on a noob and I suck up all the freelance.
