The one thing that's missing from the unemployment discussion

Literally in most states esp poor ones, there is NO funding for alternative schooling for vocational high schools. Like my daddy went to a voc tech in Florida and became a plumber. Sadly, the school closed because the districts didn't want to fund it. Now these cucks are mad everyone is sending their kids off to liberal colleges with stagnant wages thanks to Jimmy Carter and his cronies forty years later. 
Why hasn't this become an issue for GOP leaders? Not everyone is college material.

That it's not real unemployment?

There are plenty of opportunities for this, at little or no cost, post HS. I don’t mind it being moved to that from part of the HS curriculum. I do think more should be done to encourage people to follow this path.

I don’t know when it started, but at some point those jobs suddenly were considered “beneath” Americans and everyone’s children must have a college degree to participate in modern society. The Karens of the world didn’t care that little Susie was a gender studies reject. All that mattered was she got to tell everyone her daughter was some educated college graduate and not some filthy plumber.
That’s why the funding dried up.

What's funny is I know a few women that are electricians for GE and they make bank.

I went to apprenticeship school while going to college. Was working around 28-32 hrs a week at times, but making $20/hr after getting my plumbing license (back in 1998)
FYI, join a union and go to the trade school for free or get hired as a helper and most commercial companies will train you or send u to an ABC type school at their cost.
1st year apprentices in BR area make like $13.50/hr with health insurance and some form or retirement (pension union side or 401k with match non union side) and after 5 years and a plumbing license $25-28/hr plus benefits.

That’s actually less than I thought someone would make going that route. Not a bad living by any means.
Another problem is an entire generation of Americans were conditioned to believe that wealth and a “rich” lifestyle were all but certainties. They feel entitled to way more than what their value actually is.

Well the problem is supply and demand. I lived in a hole in the wall living in NYC with five roommies. Did it suck? Sure, but I also lived near midtown after undergrad. 
Look at whats happening in Pittsburgh, rn. It's now becoming Health care USA thanks to Biden*

I know it was the drive back in the 80s & 90s, everyone "had" to have a college degree.
Now here we are 40 years later and we're suffering from a lack of vocational workers.
I grew up in a very rural area (the total population of the parish was -and still probably is- around 10k) and our high school helped feed the vocational and educational need of the surrounding area with auto shop, welding, FFA, woodshop, etc. Now, almost all of that is gone while the school focuses on athletics and college prep.
College prep I get, but athletics? Really? Something maybe 1% of the student body will gain an educational benefit from (ie: scholarships) over something the area itself needs?
This is why having more federal control, even more state control, with lessening local control of education is creating an ever-worsening system.
