@channelnewsasia: Those aged 30 to 39 saw unemployment rates increase for the second consecutive quarter, from 2.4% in December 2024 to 2.6% in March 2025. Re-entry rates into the job market for this age group saw a 23% fall from their peak in 2022. Hypotenuse AI CEO Joshua Wong cited market reasons as the main drivers behind layoffs, such as overhiring and overspending during the COVID boom. But 30-somethings may be especially exposed - they're often too junior for leadership roles, yet less "cheap" and "adaptive" than younger peers, Wong added. How worried should those in their 30s be - and how are tech layoffs and AI reshaping careers?

Not hiring fresh grads cos not enough experience, but 30 somethings are also not being hired cos not enough senior experience? So who are these roles for?? These companies need to be investigated for ghost jobs.

What is this government? Our locals, our true blood Singaporeans are struggling to have a job while foreigners are employed and getting paid at such high salaries

For the employers, between FT and Singaporean, they prefer FT cheaper come from a University with low QS rating, than Singaporean with local Universities with higher QS rating. Why we end up in this situation? …….

AI will automate everything. By then a lot of people will be out of job. Not many know how to & can operate at strategic level. Eg if 80% jobless rate, any country will get riots. It may come a point a universal monthly allowance to unemployed may be needed to be provided by countries.

Companies purposely don’t hire them then can report to relevant authorities then say really cannot find suitable candidates. Finally they get green light to hire FT.

I’m already in my late 40s and only held O level cert I’m started working after my NS doing all sorts of jobs , waiter , promoter , sales etc and each I work at least for a few years before changing to next and because I’m not picky about the pay I get and yes I only was paid $700 when I start out but I held on, I can’t compete with the grads but I held on. Jump at every opportunity you never know when you actually get to find a talent you yourself never knew. I know I found mine.
