Atlanta is known as a ‘Black Mecca.’ Jobs data tell a different story.

Meanwhile they could have applied for jobs in the DMV and been living stress free among real successful Black people and none of that fake glitz and glammer scammy shyt that's rampant down there .

They DMV have unemployment of Blacks too but its the quality of work that's much better on average even if the pay isn't that great. You should find a job if you look extremely hard in DC. In Atlanta, you can look extremely hard and

My homie was hiring us, we were performing and cacs were still mad and got rid of him. Cacs don't want to work with too many Blacks. Just facts. That's not an Atlanta thing either.

Yup my brother in law was a manager in healthcare he hired two black brehs who were qualified and someone reported him to hr that he was hiring his friends even though he never knew them

fukk out of here them nikkas are trash at anything STEM related. I've seen it with my own eyes consulting companies will buff up a fabricated Indian resume and then they get jobs because they will work for cheaper. Now you got an Indian that don't know what the fukk they doing working with you and I can't understand what the fukk they are saying because of their accent.

That hasn't been my experience. Then again, with the Collabras of the world with janky hiring practices and the low IT standards of some companies, I wouldn't doubt this as well just letting you know, that's not my experience.

Speaking with brehs in the industry, it seems not to be there's as well.

There’s no shortage. it’s just capitalism gone wrong. Corporations are cheap and don’t want to pay Americans the wage they are worth. They bring Indians and Chinese Tech workers in to replace Americans and pay them less. It’s a big issue especially with H1B1 abuses. Companies are supposed to use it if they CANT find a qualified candidate for a position but they just ignore all American’s who apply in favor of foreign workers. There’s a famous case of Disney IT workers who were fired and forced to train their Indian replacements. Trump for all his clownery actually stepped in to make it harder for the corporations to bypass hiring Americans and made it much harder for H1B1 applicants

While I would like to agree, I don't know if I can. I do respect your take tho. I don't know too many hb3s who just flat out suck and I remember and worked with cacs in this field, they stay lacking unless they are foreign. Now all Blacks in this industry are lack but they don't seem to keep us for long if we aren't. They have a short fuse when it comes to us in this field. I know from exp.

What field can you go into that will pay as well as the last of you no degree or experience?

There isnt one. Thats my point. Why ask a question with an obvious answer if it isnt rhetorical?

Atlanta is no different than other cities blacks ran to because of the hype and shyt didn’t turned out well

Blacks back in the day ran to Detroit and failed, Harlem and that failed, Los Angeles and those dreams failed and now Atlanta and that’s failing

I feel bad for majority of the natives who at one point was living comfortably and cost of living wasn’t bad and now many of them probably trying to escape the crimes, wannabe bloods and crips, fake love and hip hop folks...

Some other city is next for the downfall

It seems the guy with the masters in Finance wasn’t telling the whole story.

-He didn’t attend the University Of Georgia Business school (They Don’t have a Masters in Finance program)

- Based on his LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamsto/

He has a masters in Housing Economics. While he should still be employed his masters degree is very narrowed focus. His undergrad degree was in Human Resources.

 

[Skooby]

And? Unless you a GS-15 there you ain't making shyt.

That was my point. But I see you're banned now.

What he get banned for?

Now this makes more sense. His story just wasn’t adding up.

Big difference between master in financial planning and a masters in finance

Seems like whenever Blacks move to a city en masse, shyt goes bad

I was just talking to a young lady that I work with. In had totally forgot about her then I thought about this thread. Homegirl named tiffany that graduated from Tuskegee with a degree in computer science. Been looking to apply her degree for 2 years or more. Bunch of interviews but no call backs.

I guess that's my next question how does the job market fare for HBCU grads
