Alex and James take a diver into credentialism in the eleventh installment of By The Numbers. Corporate America, education, the state and the well off have left entire generations of Americans behind, are excluding them from the job market and assuring that prosperity is not in the future of White youth.

“I hate my White Parents” the show.
And look, credentialism is a huge problem and there’s historical reasons it’s gotten to this point, and there’s also tactics like lying on “help wanted” postings that employers do to get around HR and legal requirements, or at least to maintain flexibility.
But if it’s not handled with some nuance you can sound like an incel whinging about not getting issued a girlfriend.
An episode about credentialism and you don’t mention the Griggs vs Duke Power Company (1971) Supreme Court ruling that established disparate impact theory? [Correct me if I am wrong] Employers, big corporations and government organizations, in the past made use of intelligence testing for hiring and promotions. Back in the day you didn’t need a degree because the employer would IQ test you and then place you in an appropriate career track. It was an efficient, reliable, and scalable process. Disparate impact theory is the legal theory that any employer test that ends up with unequal pass rates between different… Read more »
Too eager to shit on boomers I suppose
Mr. McNabb said he could never find a concrete answer for all this credential inflation. The answer is that disparate impact legal theory de facto outlaws quick and easy cognitive testing of job applicants. The law of the land is that only credentials may be used to screen job applicants. Credentialism is mandated by the system.
This was a great episode
My dad has owned three different houses in his lifetime. So did my grandparents, all that equity was given back to the bank through reverse mortgage loans.
I’ll be lucky if I ever own one house.
My aunt did that with my grandparents home. It was paid off, and between the money grandad left, social security, and everything to take care of her my grandmother didn’t want for anything.
Unfortunately grandad died first. Boomer aunt in perpetual debt because she couldn’t stand to live within her means got power of power of attorney. Instantly threw the property into a reverse mortgage scheme, and ended up owing over $20k on it when all was said and done and had nothing to show for it.
When I was in university, most of the advanced courses did not even bother using a textbook. It was almost all entry level, non specialized courses that required expensive textbooks (with those stupid access codes to use an online portal for tests so a PDF won’t cut it). The funny part is that for those textbooks, there’s already a project from a few universities to create free and open source textbooks, so there’s literally no need for states or schools to spend a bunch of money to make their own. It just needs to be a law so that universities… Read more »
I’m going to school for that very reason. Even though I have a half-decent job now, having a degree opens up so many more options. Even a 2 year from some community college will help you out.
Every textbook I’ve needed over the past few years has been available as a pdf and I’ve found online for free. I know a lot of other students do the same. There’s a place called Library Genesis that hosts tons of pdfs. Kinda sketchy though.
Which is why they now do the access codes for online quizzes that make up 10-20% of your course grade.
When you REALLY corner a boomer, and get them to acknowledge that “well, I won’t be alive much longer to have to deal with all this” is an antisocial attitude, they have another answer ready: “well, someone else will fix all this.” When you tell them that nobody is fixing it and this is baseless blind faith, then you finally get the silent, dead eyed stare.
They ALWAYS respond with some form of “At least i’ll be dead”. We are conditioned to have no hope of prosperity. They were conditioned to have no expectation of posterity. And both of us have been handed comfy coping mechanisms for hopelessness.
You have to have connections if you want to get a job on an oil rig. Among all the other qulifications.
Then your coworkers will pressure you into spending your Oil Rig money on mmmmBigTruck
Truckboattruck
I can’t get enough of the Eraser Jason Aldean parody… The mmm big truck was so unexpected and random, it totally caught me off guard and I’m still laughing at it today.
Very relatable topic. I’m getting fucked hard on my job search lately. I don’t have a degree or anything, but top tier experience, results, and A+ manager reviews which I include part of my resume PDF. There’s one job that I would fit so damn well, but they refuse to consider me after applying a few times throughout the last 6 months. I’ve looked at the LinkedIn profiles of people who currently have the position (there’s dozens) and virtually all of them had no experience in this industry before getting hired, but had a degree or were working towards one… Read more »
Man, I feel ya. I was out of work for eight months. I blew through my savings and was on the verge of going full nigger: SNAP, welfare, section 8 housing vouchers when I got a call from Lord Walmart who had just lost a bunch of kids who were going back to school. Pure luck. This system stinks like a rotting corpse!
As cliché as it is, when it rains it pours. As soon as you get one offer / interview than you get 3-5 more.
A big reason I could see for companies choosing to hire people with degrees when there’s no reason to need a degree for the job would be to avoid promoting from within and as such Managment would have no solidarity with Labor and there would be no reason for Managment to push back against the Owner when the Owner demands absolutely ridiculous amounts of work on absolutely ridiculously thin timelines. Steve who was hired for Shitbag Landscaping LLC won’t push back against the eponymous Shitbag when he wants his crew to get that whole golf course taken care of before… Read more »

Amazing show guys, thanks!! Even got my brother to listen to this one. The education and corporate greed is a topic that always hits close to home.
“I’m a socialist”
I’m a STALINIST! Gulag these motherfuckers! Work them ALL to DEATH!!!
Capitalism needs to burn!
“Textbooks”
I’ve been noticing that racket for thirty years!
“Staring down the age of forty…”
Shit, I’m 58 and I’m in the same situation.
Thankfully, I’m REALLY anti-social!
“I don’t want to this episode just about hating boomers…”
As a late stage boomer I say go ahead and do it!
“My paternal grandmother…”
ran a brothel.
“Then they get REALLY upset!”
Boy howdy! Ain’t THAT true! It happens all the time with my older boomercon brother!
Something that came to mind immediately to me is that requiring degrees for all these positions is a political shit test. People with college degrees tend to be liberals and democrats so these requirements are a way of filtering out political undesirables.
The Day Of The Pillow shall be upon us
The boomer approach to “work ethic” is like telling someone who is depressed to “just be happy.” They want to smugly glorify a concept so they can ignore the social and cultural problems that might be affecting it and to avoid political confrontations.
Nothing makes me want to rip the face off someone like when I’m behind the counter at work going on hour 9 of 12 and some boomer with a $90k mobile living room says my job can’t be so bad, at least I’m working in AC.
FUCK RIGHT OFF YOU CUNT!
Part of the reason for the increase in experience required (or advertised as required) for many positions is that a worker is more likely to accept a lower wage if they think they are underqualified

My mom was 45 when I was born, and I’m… just… fine
Yeah I jumped the gun i’m sorry

I’m being a little facetious, I don’t think any of us here are exactly neurotypical
The creep of credentialism is part of the debt economy and system of usury perpetuated by kikes in academia. They want to keep saddling the maximum amount of people with student loans. For this scam to be perpetuated, academia colludes with business in requiring ever increasing academic credentials at the same time that job opportunities are decreasing. Considering that college graduates are increasingly likely to be non-White and female, jobs that require college degrees are selecting against White males. It’s just another lever of power pushed in the direction of lower White child births. Less money and more precarity for… Read more »
This.
I came here to the comments section to write a comment almost exactly like yours. Glad to see you already wrote it!
Requiring a 4-year degree for even basic jobs selects for some level of literacy, thorough indoctrination into anti-white ideology, & a willingness to subordinate common sense & basic morality to blind obedience.
It tends to select against white nationalism.
That is why we’re seeing this trend — it screens out the most incompetent & disruptive non-whites while ensuring any whites hired will keep their heads down & allow themselves to be exploited & humiliated without causing a ruckus.
good point
Anecdote from Australia
Work in road construction
All the new site engineers are indians or non white immigrants who are nothing special.
2 decades ago that would of been a project manager role that doesn’t need a degree.
This episode really spoke to my (anecdotal) experience trying to get a job during corona. I must have sent out around 200 applications over 6 months, had a 4.0 GPA, bachelors and masters degree, publications, and (thankfully paid) internship experience, but heard back on around 3-5 of them and only got a single offer. Maybe it was corona freezing hiring, but I was surprised how difficult it was to get decent, interesting work. When I finally did get a job, it was at a place that doesn’t really care about credentials in the day-to-day work, PHDs work with BS holders… Read more »
those Lucky people alex mentions have the opppsite of imposter syndrome.
i got lucky as fuck and made hella bank for like 10 years on the net but for whatever reason my attitude actually affirmed that it was merely blind luck.
Fantastic episode.
ill never forget this ad for an entry level media producer that wanted 5yrs experience with a piece of software that was 18months old
awwww lol inb4!!!
Fuck boomers.
Why the fuck would you ever need a degree for Human Resources? So stupid.
Or to manage a few guys mowing lawns…
I would enjoy a weekly 3 hour TRS show dedicated to shitting on boomers.
“The I’ll be dead anyway” thing is real. I sent my mom a neutral video of everything in downtown SF boarded up, abandoned and closed. She responded with “looks like quite a slump”
yea whats up with the underwhelming blasé responses from boomers?
i get that same thing from my mom. “interesting!”
What’s the difference between boomers and all the gen x’ers, millenials and zoomers that won’t lift a finger to defend Whites against this jewish system? Alan Balogh could tell you about all the reasons why White Nationalism wasn’t working well back then. Things weren’t bad enough yet. The same Whites who aren’t helping us today would have done the exact same thing as boomers given the circumstances and frankly some of our guys would have too.
Gen X are the ones who got fucked in the 2008 Housing crash and the 90s/2000s outsourcing.
Boomer hate is kind of played out and also Reddit tier stuff. If we grew up in that time period we’d be just as dumb as them.
I second this request 😄
One thing this trains young workers to do is lie on their resume and apply for jobs they’re underqualified for. When I was 22 fresh off a bachelor’s degree, everything required 3-5 years of experience. I just made up 3 years of internships for whatever job I was applying for, using friends as references. Now, I smudge the dates on my resume and use friends as references to apply for mid level positions. One thing nobody talks about is the growth of hiring firms and headhunters growing this trend. I lie to the AI, who lies to the hiring firm,… Read more »
You’re not wrong about nursing homes. It’s even worse. I’m an LPN in nursing homes and these fat black retarded bitch aides all go on break at the same time when DAT DUNKIN DONUTS OPEN DEY GOT BREAKFAST and then they’re all gone for an hour plus getting their goyslop before they go into fat nigger hibernation mode in their cars, and the supervisor is in the parking lot knocking on their windows because the white boomers are banging on the walls because the nigger bitches hid their call lights, and then there’s my wagecuck ass responsible for 50 people… Read more »
Never willingly go to the nursing home/rehab facility.
With some of my nerve problems, and the specter of having crippling arthritis in the next couple decades I’ve made it well known to those who are close to me that I will eat my gun if it comes down to needing assisted living of any sort.
You better have someone set to care for you or take very good care of your body and health now!
Nursing facilities are hell for everyone involved. If the State would reimburse higher the aides would be paid more hence a better quality of worker. It’s more important to send billions to Ukraine and Israel.
Working class millenial man with no wife and no kids… I’m just checking out when I can’t take care of myself. I took care of my parents in their old age to spare them indignity, and I know I won’t have that. This job has undoubtedly already taken a lot of years off my life. Who gives a fuck in this shithole. In the words of Ferdinand Céline – my favorite writer, whose pamphlets put all other antisemitic literature to shame – when a reporter in a post-wwii interview asked him “you don’t fear death?”, he replied “oh it’d be… Read more »
My retirement plan is federal prison. Plan on going Uncle Ted in my 70s.
“Fat nigger hibernation mode” 🤣🤣🤣
Fuck America and fuck Jews.
I could never understand how anyone (especially whites) could abuse service staff. Even if I had never worked in service type job for years growing up, I still wouldnt take out my shit on rando worker for reasons.
Requiring a degree for menial jobs like landscaping is a great way to keep whites out of the workforce. All non white applicants will be let in (without checking) and whites will be held to unrealistic standards and requirements.
They know whites will never set up sting ops and lawsuits to figure out if discrimination occurred.
Great topics. The power play of Weimar Germany is amalgamating the racial issue with the sharp pain of economic oppression by Jews sharply declining white quality of life. White working people are facing apartments and God forbid roommate scenarios with brown people and migrants from the third world, while paying taxes at their slave job. Hell at home, hell at their job, their only refuge is sleep, the most they can wish for is a dream while they sleep as refuge from their never-ending nigger and Jew fatigue.
>capitalizing jew but not White
I confess I am a phone poster half the time nowadays, and just let autocorrect handle it all. It tried to call you nigger, but I stopped it in its tracks
The decline in quality of textbooks while prices go up is real. I had to buy one that didn’t even have binding. It was just a stack of paper.
Corporations and the public sector are now requiring a college degree for jobs which once never required a college degree. I have been a Firefighter/Paramedic since 2006 and back when I was hired the only requirement was you had your Firefighter I and II class/test already completed and passed before applying. If hired you had 1 calendar year to become any level of EMT and it was encouraged but not required you become a Paramedic within 5 or 6 years(my department would pay for your EMT&Medic classes/test). Flash forward to 2023 and the same department for an entry level position… Read more »
I suspect alot of this credential throttling is done for what you just mentioned, to keep a decent flow of young whites into the armed forces, since it’s the only ticket to jump start your life in this country. Evem though we stress people not joining the service here, I frankly can’t blame people in a shitty situation who do
I work retail and I make as much as the recruitment ad in the front window of my store says an E3 gets… Dying for ZOG isn’t what it used to be.
Yeah, they’re not even bothering to make it a 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 alternative, the only honest pitch they can make outside of school cost coverage is what the hell else are you gonna do? And sadly for some Whites that’s still enough
I mean I hate to say it but yes it is true. I served in the Army from 1998-2005 and my training as a medic led me into my civilian job with the fire department. I always tell younger people today if I could go back 25 years there is no way I would join the military.
2:15 sec short. your pay will be docked accordingly
Fuckin’ lazy ass Gen Xers, in my day we put in an extra 30 seconds
uh . . . huhlew
\o
Man if Whites had even half of the in-group loyalty of browns, we could go a long way to solving the job problem. But then even pro-White employers are afraid of discrimination lawsuits. So yeah, policy has to allow for it in the first place.
A co-op type setup or a business comprised of “contractors” can get around that. Whites just need to outsmart them.
I havent started listening yet, where is my 2 mins and 15 seconds, i was told this was a one hour show?
These kids today…
Bob Barker has died.
Meh.
i agree. only his immediate family cares

at age 99. He got as close as he could without going over
and you heard that joke here first. It’s a Norman original. Anyone claiming they thought of it first is lying to you and to themselves

I thought he died 15 years ago
Died? I didn’t even know he was sick
that dude made prison industrial complex sandals and advocated for mass animal genital mutilation
