Los Angeles’ population is 145% that of Chicago’s, yet Los Angeles gets fewer job applications from new college graduates than Chicago does. Population size and number of job applications from new college graduates are not linearly correlated.
Again! Brilliance in the simplicity! Hoisted on my own petard, so to speak. Calling out my univariate argument by utilizing a univariate fallacy! You are absolutely correct. My argument did not take into account areas that are shedding businesses, jobs, and population. Of course, we’ll ignore the fact that total job applications ≠ recent college grad applications…
Still, I’m surprised there aren’t more recent grads applying for jobs in LA. You can get abortions there, after all. Cheap ones…Yet Austin getting a ton of applicants but you can’t get an abortion there. That’s very weird.
