….and we’re back. Life rudely interrupted last week, apologies.
This news article presented itself on my Creepbook for Business feed this morning, proving yet again how LinkedIn has become a virtue signalling, leftwing propaganda echo chamber with a very mild utility as a job hunting resource attached.
One hopes that the Monash University staff were commensurately recompensed for a study with such stunning insights as this. After all, it must have taken huge amounts of effort and intellectual ability to log on to the Australian Statistics website, open a CSV file with workplace injury data, insert a pivot table and sort by profession.
What piqued our interest however, was LinkedIn’s choice of stock photo to accompany the headline;
A young female driver with dark skin.
This academic study (demographics page 21) suggests that, after taking the photo of our lady driver above, the photographer might have considered buying a lottery ticket as it was his/her lucky day – a young female driver is rarer than unicorn shit.
We can’t comment on skin colour of truck drivers because we haven’t found any demographic data linking melanin levels and heavy vehicle licences.
Bill’s Opinion
The most dangerous profession in Australia is almost exclusively undertaken by men. LinkedIn is quite correct in their sentiment: we should start a campaign for 50:50 gender equality in this profession.
When I worked, I always found LinkedIn to be a real asset. When bored, I could while away the hours by seeing what pathetic liars my colleagues and friends were.
Quite.
The term “humble bragging” seems so apt.
