Generation Jobless
 

GENERATION JOBLESS delves into why so many young Canadians are overeducated and underemployed. The reality is that today's twenty-something's are entering an economy in the throes of a seismic shift where globalization and technology are transforming the workplace. Automation is replacing tens of thousands of jobs at a time. Companies fixated on the bottom line are outsourcing jobs and wherever possible getting computers to do the work. Employers are placing a higher premium on experienced workers, unwilling to invest in training new entrants to the workforce. So, young people are caught in a catch 22. How do you get experience if no one will hire you without it? Many are working for free as unpaid interns, just to try and get their foot in the door. And, for the first time in history youth are facing another unique challenge – competition with their parents' generation for the small pool of jobs that do exist. Boomers who are delaying retirement.

By all accounts the problem is only going to get worse. Especially since the key players in Canada –universities, employers and governments – are not working together to find a solution. Canada is the only country in the world without a national body responsible for education and is seen as one of the most decentralized and fragmented countries in the world when it comes to helping young people make a smooth entry into the world of work.

Several experts weigh in on what many are calling the most important social issue of our time – including Francis Fong, TD Bank Economist and author of the report The Plight of Younger Workers that paints a bleak picture of youth employment in Canada; Armine Yalnizyan Sr. Economist, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives who has been tracking trends in the labour market for two decades; and Dr. Paul Cappon, former head of the Canadian Council on Learning a research and advocacy program focused on learning in Canada;

The documentary takes viewers to Switzerland where the youth unemployment rate is 2.8% - the lowest in the developed world. Here the idea of young people graduating with degrees and unable to find jobs is virtually unheard of. Dr. Stefan Wolter, Director of the Coordination Centre For Research In Education, explains how all levels of government, educators and employers, work together to ensure that education and training are linked to employment.

Is less than an hour long. Well worth watching. Very applicable to what is happening in the USA as well.

Rolling Stone: Stories from the Edge
 

Great documentary that I watched last night on HBO:

"Rolling Stone: Stories From the Edge chronicles the last 50 years of American music, politics and popular culture through the perspective of a magazine that understood rock ‘n’ roll was more than music — it was a cultural force that helped shape America and defined generations."

It really bummed me out to find out that Jann Wenner and his son Gus have put it up for sale. Due to the internet and people not reading newspapers or magazine hard copies much anymore, sales have plummeted.

They previously had sold 49% but had retained controlling interest.

Secret State - Inside North Korea
 

My favorite part is when the tour guide describes Kim Jong Un's "mystical birth" during which he changed the weather and a special star appeared in the sky. Those poor people. Grateful to be an American. Thank you veterans and Happy Veteran's Day!:usa

I have not seen it yet but all of the HBO documentaries that I have seen are excellent.
 

Next Monday, 11/20/17 @ 8:00PM on HBO

Gay & God:Bridging the Gap................

Manolo.......The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards.................


An in-depth portrait of MANOLO BLAHNIK, self-confessed 'cobbler' and the man regarded by most influential fashion figures as 'the best shoe-maker of the 20th and 21st centuries. A film for anyone who has ever looked longingly at a pair of... 'Manolos'.

While I admit I've NEVER looked longingly at a pair, my curiosity got the better of me and I just had to watch this! I enjoyed it.....:movieguy:

Seeing Allred............



Women's rights attorney Gloria Allred takes on the biggest names in American culture as coverage of sexual assault allegations in the media become more prevalent.

Love The Keepers on Netflix.

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold (2017)


Literary icon Joan Didion reflects on her remarkable career and personal struggles in this intimate documentary directed by her nephew, Griffin Dunne.

Nat King Cole: Afraid of the Dark (2014)



Imagine what it would feel like to be the only black television star in Hollywood at a time when the Ku Klux Klan acted out violently against black people, when America groaned under the weight of segregation and prejudice. Imagine being in possession of a natural talent so great, so unique and disarming that these issues were seemingly swept to one side to allow you to perform and be acknowledged for this gift, yet behind closed doors they were trying to think of a way to package you as something you were not: white. This candid account of the actual happenings in and around the "fairytale" life of fame and fortune of Nat King Cole, are taken from the private journals of Nat King Cole and exclusive interviews with the widow of Nat King Cole, Maria Cole, as well as contributions from other family members.

Everyone at work is talking about the Netflix documentary "Wild Wild Country" about the utopian cult in Oregon from years ago.
I'm not much for tv but it's been a while since I turned mine on and this looks like a decent doc!
Has anyone else seen it yet?

Yes it’s really great. Also see the keepers if you haven’t.
