Economists Warn That Even Their Friend’s Son Who Went To Business School Can’t Find A Job

NEW YORK—Raising the alarm about an increasingly unstable labor market, economists at Columbia University warned in a report published Wednesday that even their friend’s son who went to business school hadn’t been able to find a job. “Americans’ employment prospects must be truly dire if Natalie’s son Trevor is still stuck working at Best Buy,” said lead author Joseph Stiglitz, adding that Trevor’s bachelor’s degree from MIT Sloan School of Management and extensive internship experience should have been “more than enough” to secure him a respectable marketing or sales position by now. “I mean, this is an incredibly bright young man we’re talking about. He was president of his business fraternity and even made the dean’s list. Can you believe it? He’s such a great guy too. Volunteers every Sunday at his local animal shelter. If a smart kid like that can’t find a job, what hope do the rest of us have?” Stiglitz added that the shuttering of his granddaughter’s lemonade stand boded ill for the future of small business.
