Firstly, 700 is nowhere near “tens of thousands.” Secondly, did those 700 applicants die in the streets or in prison? Or did they just go apply for some other job? People generally apply for a lot more jobs than they end up getting. And how is AI screening going to change the outcome? Would those 700 applicants get jobs there if they hadn’t been using AI?
Also, note that America is not the whole world. Most civilized western nations have outlawed slavery, so their prisons aren’t forced labor camps. And the jobless are not automatically imprisoned.
Really, this whole thread is just weird. I pointed out that voluntarily avoiding applying for jobs just means other people will take them, and we leapt instantly to some kind of cartoonish dystopia full of slavery and death.
700 is one job in a small town, mostly seasonal work. She stopped counting at 700. How many jobs do you think there are, there, especially in off -season? I’m sure several did end up homeless or dead in prison. I’m not about to doxx myself so believe what you choose.
I’m well aware USA isn’t all the world. Several other Western societies and prisons seem to follow US lead. And no one said jobless automatically end up in prison. It’s usually a series of unfortunate happenings. Lose a job, can’t get another with livable wages, end up homeless, hungry, steal a can of sardines or crackers, get arrested, can’t make bail, fight to survive in jail awaiting time or have an untreated medical issue…
What’s really weird is you condescendingly telling me that my experience isn’t all the world’s, while failing to realize yours isn’t, either.
Yes, and? The American unemployment rate is currently 4.2%. You’re imagining a scenario that’s simply not backed up by real evidence, just a single anecdote with wild extrapolation. Okay, there were a lot of applicants for that one particular job. Must have been a really nice one. Most of the applicants didn’t get in.
How would AI screening change this?
Did those failed applicants just give up and never apply for another job again afterward? You’re apparently one of them, are you now unemployed forever?
