There are far too many qualified and intelligent people who have fallen through the cracks and haven’t participated in the so-called “hot” job market.
These folks are college-educated, white-collar, highly experienced professionals. Unable to procure a role commensurate with their experience and skill sets, they’re forced into the gig economy, driving for Lyft or Uber, accepting project work or temporary assignments. Some will reluctantly take a job that pays much lower than they’ve previously earned just to make ends meet and pay the bills.
There is a cost-containment trend taking hold at most major corporations. In an effort to save money and cut costs, companies have been steadily relocating positions from big, expensive cities, such as New York, to lower-cost areas within the United States and to other countries. If a professional has more than 15-to-20 years of experience and is earning a certain amount of money, the company will pass on them.
There is much discussion about ageism, sexism, racism and other prejudices in the job market. However, there is a blatant discrimination that occurs, but nobody brings it up since it's deemed politically incorrect to discuss.
