According to The Burning Glass Institute, companies aren’t hiring fewer people, but hiring has shifted from entry level roles filled by college graduates entirely to experienced workers. The is driving up unemployment for early career job seekers and underemployment of recent graduates. I think flattened organizations make sense but am worried where middle managers will come from in 10-20 years. What is your prediction?

Bigger question is where do entry level people get jobs? And when competition is happening over experienced employees when do companies start falling back to entry level because the cost of experience is too high?

This report is out on LinkedIn I you want to go look at it and OP has made something a little misleading, the overall piece here is that entry level college graduates with no experience or skills will have a harder time getting hired. However, even in today’s job market applicants are bringing years worth of skills and they are still not getting hired!

I have 2 degrees and a certificate working on my next, I have over two dozen skills sitting on my résumé or going into an application when I apply – none of it makes a difference. Last year I sent out over 700 applications and got responses on only 40% to include thanks but no thanks.
I had less than 20 interviews total. That’s what this job market is, it’s company saying you don’t have enough experience/skills but then when they’re presented with hundreds of applicants with experience/skills, ATS filters them all out.

I've heard the same thing being talked about. Part of the problem is that AI tools can augment jobs to the point where some entry level jobs can be eliminated. It's as if no one really thinks about who will be available to ascend to higher positions in a few years.

Any thoughts on asking a hiring manager to speak to one of his/her employees without the manager being present to get a good feel for the culture?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
