"SNIP.....


(CNN)Four months before the presidential election, Ivanka Trump, adviser to her father President Donald Trump, is promoting a new ad campaign dubbed, "Find Something New."

Aimed at helping unemployed Americans find new careers, the initiative launched Tuesday with a virtual roundtable hosted at the White House featuring Ivanka Trump and business leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, and a reveal of one of the ads, a 30-second spot with a handful of people telling their employment stories.

"Now, as a result of Covid, people need to, unfortunately, in some cases learn a completely new skill," said Trump on Tuesday during the launch. "But that is also an opportunity to be put on for a new trajectory for themselves and their lives and we want to facilitate that connection back to the workforce and make it as smooth as possible."

"Find Something New" was swiftly criticized on social media, most vociferously for its title, which can be interpreted as too simplistic a catchphrase to describe the unemployment meltdown happening for millions of Americans as a global pandemic continues to ravage physical and financial health.

My parents lived in a retirement home that was owned by a big business. It was nice. They would hire one of their waiters to be event co-ordinator when the position opened up. They did that alot. They could pay them way less. I also worked at a grand hotel twice in my life, 20 years apart. 90% of the staff were in their 20s the second time. When i worked there at an earlier time most of the staff were over 40. This just reeks of people finding jobs they get paid less for. And more money for hedge funds. That is what happens when you change jobs and go into a new field with little or no education. It screams 'entry level'.
