Yes, and? The American unemployment rate is currently 4.2%. You're imagining a scenario that's simply not backed up by real evidence, just a single anecdote with wild extrapolation. Okay, there were a lot of applicants for that one particular job. Must have been a really nice one. Most of the applicants didn't get in.

  • How would AI screening change this?
  • Did those failed applicants just give up and never apply for another job again afterward? You're apparently one of them, are you now unemployed forever?
