@autumnpard 🤷♀️ it's complicated, the economy + regulations create the jobs and historically we haven't insisted that # of degrees match # of entry level jobs except a few regulated professions... also there's a lot more demand once you have a bit of experience- coordination problem there
@autumnpard in that entry level hires cost nearly the same salary & benefits & taxes while being much less productive while learning & taking time from others to train them, but after a year or two they're much more productive so everyone prefers those ppl
