About this video
#girlboss #jobdisplacement #jobsearch
Is the "Girlboss" era officially over? I think so. Across the country, professional women with expensive college degrees are discovering a harsh reality: no one wants to hire them. As the white-collar job market shrinks, the promise of corporate feminism is leaving millions of women broke and facing a wave of poverty they're unprepared to face.
In this video, I break down the viral story of an NYU graduate facing chronic unemployment. Despite doing everything "right," she is now forced to choose between rent, groceries, and healthcare. This is the epitome of the economic crisis destroying the middle class.
This isn't just about one girlboss losing her job though. When millions of girlbosses lose their jobs all at once, they'll lose their socioeconomic status. Women are waking up to the reality of useless degrees and career regret as they slowly slip out of the middle class and lose the quality of life they were promised. #girlboss #careerregret #jobmarket #economy #millennialwomen #whitecollar
