How ATS Systems Hurt the Job Market?

Introduction

The hiring system is broken — and ATS is a big reason why. Companies now use what I call the Automatic Toss‑Out System, a machine that rejects resumes before a human ever sees them. No reading, no chance, no second look. If you don’t fit the filter, you’re gone.

We’re past the days where HR actually read applications. Now it’s unpaid assessments, keyword matching, and automated rejection emails. Between ATS and AI, the job market is getting stricter, colder, and harder for real people to break into — including me.

Politicians talk about how “great” the economy is, but that doesn’t match what job seekers are living. People can’t get work because a machine decides who’s worth hiring. And nobody in power is fighting it. It’s always “vote, donate, support me,” while the hiring process becomes a joke. This system has been around since the 1970s. I talk about it in the video.

The term is called Applicant Tracking System but more like Automative Toss-Out System.

Closing Thoughts

This system hurts people. It makes it harder to get a job, harder to get a chance, and harder to move forward. ATS is nonsense — and it’s time people start talking about it. What are your thoughts. Feel free to comment.

$25 Minimum Wage - This Is a Bad Idea

In today’s video I’m talking about the Living Wage For All Act — the bill introduced on April 28 that would push the federal minimum wage up to $25 an hour. Big corporations would have to hit $25 by 2031, and small businesses by 2038. In my opinion, this is a terrible idea. A jump like this could mean layoffs, businesses closing, higher prices, and even more inflation — especially in the South where small businesses are the backbone of the economy.
