the lack of jobs is a corporatist lie, some people work way more than 8 hours a day while other people are completely jobless. in places where the âlack of jobsâ is rampant (read: developing countries) working more than 8 hours a day is a norm, you donât get paid for working overtime; if you donât want to work overtime there are many jobless ppl who would to survive and thus your employer would replace you
ofc some first worlder would blab some nonsense about how ppl who work a lot choose to do so to earn more money bcs yeah, thatâs in your country where you get paid to work overtime, but that just isnât the reality for, like, 90% of worldâs population
the thing is that in many countries with a lack of political power and a bad financial situation foreign companies exploit the domestic population in order to reduce running costs, but that doesnât merely extend to low paychecks, instead they deliberately create a job lack by making one person do the job two could (bcs they just can when the state is unable to interfere) to create a lack of jobs on the market which causes more despair for jobs and further drop of prices of labor in the market
and the usual excuse for this is âwell, there just arenât enough qualified ppl to do this jobâ although the lack of qualifications is too imposed
you canât convince me that you couldnât educate people to do basic jobs at many firms, the absolute majority of jobs are based on tasks an average person could do with appropriate training and most tasks are doable without a college diploma
to put this in perspective: most IT jobs alone can be done after a few courses or even just by reading books and watching tutorials on the internet on how to work with specific tools and not full college education and they fall under extremely well-paying jobs
most ppl obtain college degrees solely for the purpose of competing in the market and not bcs they need the knowledge obtained from that degree to do the job they are applying for
when thereâs jobs for only 60% of the entire population thatâs eligible to work (like in non-eu balkan countries such as bosnia&herzegovina or albania, for example), obtaining medium to high levels of education is necessary to be in the upper 60% in the first place, even when itâs just good olâ manual labor that requires exactly no qualifications apart from being able-bodied (which is what most ppl in these countries do anyway bcs thatâs the job openings these companies make in the first place)
