Good question. The bad ones don't go away immediately. They go away eventually, and are quickly replaced with another round of new hires. So you have maybe 10% of the industry that stays for the long haul, and 90% is a revolving door of college grads.

There are probably other industries that have similar models where most of the workforce is newbies at all times, but I don't have an example that won't be dissected.

That's a great description of software consultancy firms. Most people are fresh college grads who leave after their first contract is up or earlier.

The bigger ones, yes. Not boutique/niche firms, but large ones tend to churn.

Well, retail and food service is a classic example of a high-turnover industry.
