Now we're being awfully specific here. For one and again, to my knowledge data is not specific to the point where either China or America breakdown each industry and the age demographics working in that industry, nor do companies do that either since especially in America that's borderline illegal. Once again if someone can actually find a data set highlighting that, then I we could re-examine the issue.
Ah so there is no logical connection between those sources that support your argument, and they aren't comparable.
More to the point, are you saying that expats should not take the unemployment numbers in both respective countries into account with respect to their decision where to work, since they might be in the clear in terms of finding a job in China unlike Gen-Z new grads? Well some are not so detailed, some just see the numbers and kneejerk assume the hiring situation is not great on top of testimonials from their friends at home.
As I said before, I am not interested in whose perspective is right or wrong. I'm just interested in the logic aspect of the debate, which to be honest is resting almost entirely on anecdotes.

You think that people who study in the US are worried about putting food on the table. Hilarious. As if they'll starve to death surrounded by Coach and Kate Spade bags, iPhones, etc.

After you guys are done arguing with the two green trolls, lets get back to the real breaking news.

Russia detains five for smuggling radioactive Cesium 'on behalf of Ukraine'​

The FSB was cited as saying that the Cesium -137 was meant to be taken out of Russia to be used to stage an incident with purported weapons of mass destruction aimed at discrediting Russia.

said on Friday it had detained five people who were trying to buy 1 kg of radioactive Cesium-137 for $3.5 million on behalf of a citizen of Ukraine, the TASS news agency reported.


Nuclear false flag attack incoming. European SDF members should take my previous tip and get yourself a geiger counter (on aliexpress of course), before they are all sold out.

Carbon fiber corrodes titanium in saltwater lol

That's not exactly true. Titanium is one of the most corrosion resistant metals out there, short of being a noble metal like gold or platinum.

The USCG reported that the rescue rover found the titanium ends from the submersible intact, so the best working theory is the carbon fiber tube shattered/imploded. Most people don't know that carbonfiber parts are made from layers of thin carbon fiber webbing that are glued(epoxied) together. Those type of parts have a shelf life, especially after years of repeated drives/stress where the layers slowly come apart from microfractures in the epoxy.

Good thing there aren't carbon fiber tubes that carry hundreds of people all over the world and under go lots of pressurization/depressurization cycles! ..wait

not to say that Ti corrosion caused the failure but electrochemical potential alone is not the sole determinant of corrosion resistance. It doesn't take into consideration corrosion resistance from passivating native oxides. Al is much more corrosion resistant than mild steel due to the nonporous oxide layer despite a lower electrochemical potential.

I love this spin going on that the US has super high tech sonar equipment that detected the implosion. If a tree fall in the forests and there's no one there, does it make a sound? Sound travels further underwater than through the air. If you have sonar listening devices in the area, which they do, of course it's going to detect it. What are they suggesting with this spin? Their technology can detect stealthy implosions that others can't?

They were gonners from the start. If they couldn't surface on their own, it was over implosion or not. At that depth no human could survive dive that deep to do what ever rescue like attaching floatation devices. They would have to get submersibles out there. How long would that take? Equipment would have to be shipped out there not flown out. Not enough air. The Western media peddles fantasy as reality.

It does look like STEM majors are doing fine. It is just liberal arts majors from not elite schools that are having difficulty finding jobs.

While the Beijing-based internet recruiter has been designing new algorithms to help desperate jobseekers find suitable opportunities, the situation is the most "painful" for female jobseekers who graduated with non-STEM degrees from schools outside the government's "985" and "211" projects - a list that includes prestigious names such as Tsinghua and Peking, Guo said.

"Science majors are OK. Men are OK. And [those from] well known universities are OK," Guo said at a panel discussion during the annual digital economy conference hosted this week by Alibaba Group Holding's open think tank Luohan Academy in Hangzhou, capital of eastern Zhejiang province.
