Also, the LSAT is not static. It has changed over the years as instruction methods have also changed and as demographics have changed; so it is not a reliable measure of aptitude in any way.
Whether or not someone gets an A or a C in a course for Physics likely will not have any bearing on the needs of an employer who needs someone who is a Python wiz for data science.
Maybe the bigger problem is colleges offering undergraduate majors which lack demand, coupled with in-demand majors not having enough relevant course content for the job market, or maybe employers have just gotten more unreasonable in terms of expectations for graduates over time?
It's hard to make the argument these students are less qualified.. look at the acceptance rate of top schools over time, its essentially at or near all-time low percentages for the majority.
Likewise, when I got into the CS major the entry requirement was a 2.5 GPA, by the time I graduated the next crop needed a 3.4 or 3.5 - and I’d be screwed if were just a couple semesters behind. That's a microcosm but that's the general trend. Look at the shit show ‘23-25 graduates are heading into now.

That party is now over but most businesses still depend on desktop and laptop computing for much of their business operations and expectations haven't caught up.
If it were the case that employees are worse why has Productivity has increased steadily? I’d instead posit that Employers expect way more than they did before. Technology and skill level expectations are drastically higher and employees are delivering.
