The new class of unemployed, the overly educated unemployed.

131 Upvotes

The new class of unemployed, the overly educated unemployed.

A friend of mine, who graduated from the University of California (UC DAVIS), is currently living in a van because he hasn't been able to find a job. Desperate to change his situation, he reached out to his county worker for help. Initially, the worker suggested the usual resources, unemployment centers and basic career services. But once he realized that my friend has a degree and no criminal history, it became clear that he was dealing with a different kind of situation.

My friend has applied to over a thousand jobs, yet he’s repeatedly told he’s either underqualified or overqualified, if he even gets a response at all. He’s applied for numerous state jobs, where he’s often met with initial interest, only to be ghosted later. The constant rejection is taking a toll, and he’s starting to lose hope.

In talking with his county worker, they came to the conclusion that he’s part of a new and growing class: the overeducated unemployed. Sadly, most of our current services are geared towards those with fewer qualifications, people who may lack basic skills, but that’s not the issue here. The problem is that, despite having the skills and education, nobody is hiring them.

As AI continues to advance, this class of unemployed is likely to grow. So, what are we supposed to do? What happens when the overeducated, who were once considered assets to society, can’t find work? In the U.S., unemployment often leads to homelessness. It's a harsh reality.

But there’s hope. This new class of unemployed is more capable of organizing than previous generations. My hope is that they can come together to form a union or lobbying group, advocating for the overeducated who are being pushed into poverty. It’s often a lack of education that hinders people from organizing, but this new class has that in spades. They need to fight for themselves and refuse to be dismantled like the previous class.

Thank you.

Feel free to DM me if you want to start working together to fight for change!

The Turkeys are out

Y'all slow down on campus this morning. There's a flock of juvenile turkeys acting like a bunch of dumb teenagers running around in the streets near the arboretum parking lot. Expect traffic . Also watch out if you're near the Earth and Physical sciences building. Some mean old Tom's are out and up to no good.

Hi I (Human dev major, 21f) wanted to ask for recommendations of professors/classes that you really enjoyed. I'm most interested in visual studies, sociology, art, and things in that vein. I love professors that are very passionate and excited and inspiring. Please just share any that you really enjoyed and would recommend!

Why tf are all the rental e-scooters taking up the bike rack they’re not even locked up they’re just taking up precious real estate. At this point I can’t tell if the e-scooters are targeting me, I have a deep misunderstanding of e-scooter etiquette, or these things are being ridden but people with one singular brain cell shared amongst them.

Other Looking for a group of musicians for fun and learning

2 Upvotes

Hey guys I would consider myself an okay guitar player but I really just enjoy learning about theory and talking about it. I love learning about new instruments and different styles of music. I do not have any formal background in music either as I’m a political science major and I just do this as a hobby.
I’ve never ever had a group that I could jam with or do any of the above that I mentioned. So now that I am here at Davis I’d love to find some people.
I tried looking for an all around music club during the club thing, but I wasn’t able to.

So, where can I go to find what I’m looking for? I’m a 23 year old male 3rd year transfer by the way. You can shoot me a pm! Thank you

Events/Meetups/Social 🇺🇦 ANY UKRAINIANS AT DAVIS? Where are you hiding? 😭🇺🇦

33 Upvotes

My name is Yaroslava, and I'm a 3rd-year transfer student. It's been difficult to find the Ukrainian community at Davis; nevertheless, I know you guys are out there >:) 

I’m hoping to find and connect with other Ukrainian students and form a community. Especially during such difficult times, it’s so important to find and support each other as well as connect over our culture and values! 

If you’re Ukrainian and are interested in connecting, please message me so I can create a Discord for us all :) 

(If you’re seeing this post and know any Ukrainians, PLEASE send them my way)

Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

Мене звати Ярослава, і я студентка третього курсу. Перевелася до UC Davis з іншого коледжу. Мені поки що складно знайти українську спільноту у Девісі, але я знаю, що ви десь тут є >:)

Я хочу познайомитися з іншими українськими студентами. Особливо в такі непрості часи важливо знаходити одне одного, підтримувати й гуртуватися навколо нашої культури, спадщини та спільних цінностей. 

Якщо ти українець або українка й хочеш/хотіла б познайомитися, будь ласка, напиши в дірект, щоб я могла створити спільний Discord-сервер! :)

Слава Україні! 💙💛
