Comment on: Topic 'Are Entry Level Candidates Killing America?': ith the relevance of employment. Truth is, I do not have the solution. However, I can say a couple things. You validated my point by saying people feel a sense of entitlement because they went to college. However, I have a candidate right now from Ethiopia. He went to college and moved here 3 years ago. He passed his CPA and he is working as a bagger at a grocery store. He would take $12 per hour and would be happy. Point is that we have a sense of entitlement in America. How many unemployed professional American's do you know would "stoop to a grocery store level". Not many, because we tell ourselves we are too good for that. Instead, we drain the unemployment pool. I am not saying it is the only reason, but I am saying that it is a factor for driving up salaries and costs for businesses to do business here. When costs go up, businesses look to save money. That is simple the economy of doing business. Therefore, Yes, I am saying that part of the blame is in the hands of American Citizens. Speaking of, another thing that is killing America is people's inability to take responsibility. I will save that one for another time. ;-) Watch my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKj5fIWojc Luke Toland said: People go to college with the expectation that they'll earn a better living than the minimum to average wage. Hence, graduates are hoping to make more than $7.50-$20 an hour. Slashing pay rates without a commensurate cut in the cost of education is hardly a way to incentivize people to go to college. When people walk away with between $50k - $200k in college debt that cannot be swept away through bankruptcy, you bet people feel a sense of entitlement. I think it's outlandish to point the finger of blame at U.S. citizens that they are to blame for corporations in outsourcing jobs to other countries. Countries experience real wage growth, growth over and above that of inflation, due to a rise in productivity. Often, that productivity comes from the knowledge gained at college, from capital input and technology, and simply working harder. Outsourcing is not a function of greedy Americans (yes I took the bait on that statement). It's a function of America shifting away from unskilled labor to skilled labor. Where does that leave unskilled labor in America - that's hard to say. They've borne the full front of the recession with unemployment rates double that of those with college degrees. Regarding your headline, no entry level jobs are not killing America. That's pure sensationalism. Many graduates start off in the $30-50k bracket. That seems more than fair given the opportunity cost of leaving the workforce for at least four years and the cost of education. What's your solution? Halve the starting rate for entry level employees? Lower the expectations across the board? That's great. But you'll probably 'kill' America in another way - you'll lower the intake rate. Fewer knowledge workers means a less competitive economy. You can kiss any chance of recovering from the recession once that premium wage incentive is gone. …; Added by Ronald at 2:18pm on April 13, 2011
