The increase in unemployment has left many graduates burdened with student debt, forcing them to seek jobs outside their field. Despite expectations, finding employment post-graduation is challenging due to automation's dominance in the workforce. Concerns about job security have intensified as machines do not require benefits or rest. Adapting to this changing landscape, individuals must upgrade their skills to remain competitive. The film "Out of Liberty" depicts graduates protesting automation's impact on employment, with QR codes on signs directing viewers to a website assessing job automation likelihood. This underscores the importance of preparing for the evolving job market.
