Singaporeans Baffled By Elusive 'Bad Job Market'
SINGAPORE - Amidst rosy economic outlooks, confused Singaporeans across the island are struggling to locate the so-called "bad job market" purportedly plaguing the country.
"I just don't get it - all the statistics show low unemployment, GDP growth, and strong hiring," said local resident Tan Ah Seng, furrowing his brow as he scoured job sites in vain for this mythical wasteland of employment opportunities. "Yet somehow, anonymous online commenters keep insisting the job market is terrible. Where are all these unemployed people?"
Experts note that this strange disconnect between reality and perception is likely due to the proliferation of out-of-touch tech bros making six digit salaries. "When you're used to seven figure packages with stock options, anything less than that probably feels like a recession," chuckled NUS economist Professor Koh Beng Huat.
The confusion has peaked in recent days, as optimistic government reports of a solid labor market collide with increasingly dire anecdotes on Reddit and Hardwarezone forums. Bemused Singaporeans shake their heads, struggling to reconcile the two.
"I heard Engineering and Finance grads are begging on the streets, fighting tooth and nail for entry-level jobs paying only $8000," said one worried netizen on an online thread. "How can the government claim unemployment is low when homeless camps of unemployed PMETs litter East Coast Park?"
At press time, the bad job market remains stubbornly difficult to locate, leading many to conclude it exists only in the fertile imaginations of perpetually disgruntled netizens.
