Here's some backup to that claim [1], though, offshoring is only part of it.

In reality, it's likely several factors:

- Offshoring/outsourcing

- Businesses running out of ZIRP cash/returns

- Software replacing a lot of "paper" jobs (AI being a sliver of this)

- Older people needing and not vacating jobs like past generations

- Higher CoL expenses meaning lower-paying jobs that would/could be occupied by a recent graduate aren't.

- General market sentiment being cautious/conservative due to the whiplash of the last 17 years.

As with most things, it's not one convenient scapegoat, it's many problems compounding into one big clusterf*ck.
