30% of Phd Holders in South Korea Cannot Find A Job

This makes me wonder what the quality of the Phd these people who cannot have a job have?:

Three out of 10 people who obtained a Ph.D. last year were unemployed, with the ratio going up to nearly 50 percent for those aged under 30, data showed, Sunday.

The unemployment rate of Ph.D. holders is at an all-time high since Statistics Korea began collecting the data in 2014, highlighting a shortage of quality jobs and the widening impact of the job market downturn on highly educated professionals.

According to the data, 70.4 percent of the 10,442 individuals who obtained a Ph.D. last year said they secured a job. Those who failed to find employment accounted for 26.6 percent, while 3 percent were classified as economically inactive.

The people who don’t want you to know The Truth pretend that a PhD in Artsy Fartsy Studies is (or should be) equal to a PhD in Data Science and Big Data.

This is sensational clickbait and not informative news unless they break it down into which PhDs can’t get a job and which can.

But the answer will not be pleasing to the libtards, as the root word “lib” is also in liberal arts.

While conservative has “ser”, as in “Yesser, here is a high-paying job due to your STEM PhD.”

Heck, Starbucks is even avoiding Ph.Ds as baristas as they talk too much and whine about customers actually wanting their coffee hot…
