I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s going to get easier for new grads for a while, if ever.  We&#x27;re automating and offshoring jobs to remain &quot;competitive&quot; i.e. retain more profits.  Not all kids, white or black will be getting advanced degrees in a large enough volume to counteract this trend.<p>While many people think of this as a blue collar white people issue, it&#x27;s actually a poorly educated people issue which affects blacks and whites of poor backgrounds.  Men and women.<p>We&#x27;re not going to age out of the conundrum.
