How Do the Narratives of Education Failure and Lack of Job Reconcile?

> I would think if the state of the education has been as terrible as the headline claims for as long (so that total morons without basic reading and counting ability are graduating school and colleges), then anyone with decent work ethic, reading comprehension and numeracy skill would already be leagues ahead of the pack, to secure a job?

Even if you have a decent worth ethic, reading comprehension, and numeracy skills, would you be able to outperform ChatGPT at junior level white collar work?

Also, I wasn't able to read the Atlantic article because it's paywalled, but the first paragraph suggests that the student is looking for a job in California wildlife preservation and public lands.  California is in a *severe* budget crisis, and probably won't be expanding its workforce any time soon.

California is a f***ing failed state
