I thought you were having a hard time getting to the survey.   A google search gave an AI blurb that said

While it's difficult to definitively confirm 96% as the exact figure,there is a significant perception that employers are hesitant to hire Gen Z individuals, especially recent graduates. Surveys and reports indicate a trend where hiring managers and employers express concerns about Gen Z's work ethic, professionalism, and preparedness for the workforce. Many cite perceived lack of soft skills, communication difficulties, and challenges in adapting to traditional workplace expectations.

This may answer your question.

Well, thanks for being honest. That confirms that the figure was basically thrown out of thin air. Pretty much  blows the entire credibility of the author there.

Pretty much is spot on. Gen Z has no chance without handouts.

Even more alarming, a study by independent research firm Workplace Intelligence in partnership with Hult International Business School found that 37% of employers would hire AI over a young graduate. 

 

With 96% of employers agreeing that colleges are falling short in preparing students for the workforce, the statistics reveal a growing disconnect between employer expectations and the readiness of graduates.

 

Can you not read? 96% think colleges are falling short. They don't approve, 4% of respondents feel the opposite. 4% are happy with today's college graduates. Employers are dropping college requirements because they need workers not activists. But whatever you do keep doing the same think. A bunch of unemployed leftists will probably motivate change.  The 19% approval that today's dem party has definitely speaks of an inability to recognize trends. A brainwashed idiot serves no purpose in the success of a company. 

So to reiterate the clear point of the study, by a massive margin, hiring managers think today's graduates are not employable and many companies would rather hire an Alabama trailer trash meth smoker than a guaranteed idiot that needs to be deprogrammed before they can be properly trained.  But hey it's not like people saw this coming. Now go back to your safe place.

Where's the actual study though? Sorry I don't believe data thar comes out if things air. I've asked for this almost 10x now and you simply keep re quoting an article that makes the bs claim.

Well the study was clearly referenced but you're not interested in that, only some convoluted weak technical argument. You are not intellectually honest.

If you want to analyze it, look it up yourself. You played this game before with me even though all details we referenced in the article.  You literally said the crap even though every statistic was documented.  You are a fraud. Personal experience tells the rest of the world today's grads are worthless.

You made the claim, you have the burden of proof.

I never had a college professor indoctrinate or even try to do that to anyone. I even had a college professor who got arrested and charged with conspiracy to harbor illegal immigrants, and in the 2 years I had him for 3 classes, he never once said anything about it. He ended up being acquitted. So colleges and universities aren't some fantasy land where professors spend time doing that. 

On the other hand, here is a professor at a college I did attend who tried that. With predictable results. 

https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-professor-showed-qanon-video-class-trump-theories-11347813

It's also against school policies in most places to do that anyway. So I doubt many college professors are going to waste time with that. I can give two examples of professors I had who gave political opinions about anything. 

Once I had an economics professor who called Trump a complete idiot, this was before he became president, and hoped we wouldn't be stupid enough to listen to him.

The other was a left leaning anthropology professor I had who took a few minutes at the end of a class to pass out voter registration forms and encourage us to vote. 

That was the extent of my "indoctrination". 

I had 2 professors who shared political views. My History professor. He was a...~45 year old black guy(when I was a 20 year 19-23 year old). He taught the greatest class I've ever taken. It was 4 hours a day 4 days a week for...I think it was 6 weeks. It was WWI and then WWII and through Eisenhower, but it was nearly all about the great War and then WWII. 

The unintended consequences of WWI, the Treaty of Versailles and how it led to WWII, the "Stabbed in the Back Myth," in WWI that led to the uprising of Hitler. The German's who thought they could win the War, but the Government gave up on them. 

How they sowed the seeds of distrust in the Government, used force, the threat of force and Nationalism to bring the Nazi party to prominence. 

I didn't know his political views for...first year and a half that I knew him. Then he became my advisor and he was not just a conservative, but he was VERY conservative. But...we had good conversations, debates, arguments, whatever. He never brought that into the class room. 

And then my Freshmen year, I was in some stupid class... I don't even recall what it was, it was one my Coach set up for me to get an easy 4.0 to start the semester and a new professor was taking over this class. It was almost a healthy like class. I remember walking into class one day, I had a GF in the class, she punched me(playfully) and I grabbed her(again, playfully) and she was laughing the whole time...it was 15 minutes before class and she was joking saying she could beat me up. Think corny 18-year-old kids and so I held the sleeves of hear sweatshirt together with one hand and I said, Ok, lets see it, beat me up.

Sadly, I only remember that because she reported me and reported that she thought the girl was in danger(didn't even have the guts to say something at the time...which is odd if you think someone is in danger). 

It was her first year and she was not fired, but rather not asked back the following year. 

That's not overtly political, but...it kinda is.

 

 

You can tell most people don't have the first clue what College is like because they think it's just people there sitting around talking about the influence Pol Pot has on modern domestic terrorism and how that's a great thing and how we should burn the rich and how the French Revolution was cool, but we should mix it up a bit more with the Chinese Revolution...while throwing in a dash of socialism.

 

It's actually kinda comical to listen to people talk about College despite...not having gone. Which is totally fine. There are a LOT of very important jobs that we don't have enough people available for right now that pay easy 6 figures and do not require a College degree. 

My point isn't you're dumb if you didn't go to College. Plenty of dumb people went to College. Hell, Jimmy may have gone(I mean, most likely one of the Trump U students, but still). 

Rather, don't watch the extreme, loud and obnoxious minority that you see on social media or the news and then extrapolate based off of THAT what YOU think College must be. it's...frankly embarrassing.

The dude brought up Pol Pot when talking about the biggest Domestic Terrorist threats to the United  States today...

If you ask him for a double blind study, he's... just going to assume you're talking about blind people....getting Lasik or eye transplants.

I went to college when it had a liberal bias, I went back 20+ years later when it was a complete commie indoctrination program. I don't need to hear the limited experience of a boys first time leaving home thinking that has worldly knowledge and experience after a time period people measured in months and not decades.

Are you really making the argument that because it took you 20 years to finish College, you're an authority on Colleges and what they teach?

"Commie indoctrination program." 

Of course...LOL...

"My hero's?" 

My heros are Roosevelt(Teddy, though I liked FDR just fine)...Washington, Eisenhower, Tesla, Lincoln, Pat Tillman...so many more, my mentor and former coach, 1.3M people who've laid down their life for this Country...my Father above all. 

But because you're too small of a person to just say, "yeah, Pol Pot was stupid," you've somehow extrapolated that because my political beliefs are to the left of yours, I must admire murderous animals?

 

So by your own logic, YOUR hero must be Hitler since you're to the right, yeah? 
 

Nowhere on this board have I EVER expressed a modicum of support for ANY communist regime, person or ideology. I've advocated putting tariffs on China and going after their trade practices and enforcing a Tik Tok ban. 

You're flailing here...BADLY. 15,000 self identified "communists," out of ~360M. Just the Aryan Brotherhood is stronger. 

 

And STILL, absolutely none of that is a coherent response to 'America's biggest Domestic Terrorist threat,' and you coming up with...again, what MAY be the dumbest post I've seen on here by saying "what about Pol Pot!"

 

1-Not Domestic.
2-Nearly 50 YEARS after he was deposed. 
3-I'd bet less than 1 of 20 people know who he is(I'm guessing you had to google..."Communist+Bad."

And then to top it off, you posted a link that you CLEARLY did-not-read as it not only didn't support your argument, it contradicted it!

Oh, and it was from hid DEATH in 1998!!!

 

Dude, just own this one and stop trying to argue friggin Pol Pot is the largest Domestic(I'm still not sure you understand what that means) National Security threat...I'm getting embarrassed for you.

I already walked you through this. YOU think he was on the "left" because of the name of the party(a name that was used as a pejorative term initially). 

He banned unions. 

He quite literally PROSECUTED Communists and Socialists. 

He also banned both parties. 

He was an Ethno-nationalist authoritarian...who...again, quite literally banned unions, socialist, communists and locked them up and put them in Prison. If you still haven't wrapped your head around the fact that he's far-right, you're just special boy...

 

You're not only wrong here, you're comically wrong.

Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party are widely regarded by historians and political scientists as embodying far-right ideology. Despite the term "socialist" in the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) name, the party's policies and actions were fundamentally opposed to socialist principles.explaininghistory.org+1en.wikipedia.org+1

Nazism is characterized by extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, and a belief in racial hierarchy, particularly the supremacy of the "Aryan" race. The regime aggressively suppressed left-wing ideologies, banning trade unions and persecuting communists and social democrats. In 1934, during the "Night of the Long Knives," Hitler eliminated the party's left-leaning faction, solidifying its far-right stance. fullfact.orgfullfact.org+2logicallyfacts.com+2britannica.com+2

While the Nazis employed some socialist rhetoric to attract working-class support, their governance favored traditional power structures and private property, aligning with far-right ideologies. Scholars place fascism, including Nazism, on the far right due to its opposition to egalitarianism and promotion of social inequality. en.wikipedia.org

In summary, despite some superficial associations with socialism, Hitler's ideology and the Nazi Party's practices are best understood as far-right.thethinkingconservative.com+8explaininghistory.org+8history.stackexchange.com+8
