Survey reveals tough job market for Gen Z grads due to employer preferences (TND)
According to Intelligent.com, Gen Z college graduates are struggling with many aspects of professional life.
Their survey of 800 U.S. managers, directors, and executives who are involved in hiring, found these key results:
38% of employers avoid hiring recent college graduates in favor of older employees
1 in 5 employers have had a recent college graduate bring a parent to a job interview
58% say recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce
Nearly half of employers have had to fire a recent college graduate
Companies: won’t hire college graduates Also Companies: “College graduates aren’t prepared for the workforce”
Also companies: you need to be a college graduate
Colleges: you give me money and I give you a piece of paper. You can get your education from YouTube.
That right there is a big part of the problem. Watching someone do something is not the same as knowing how to do that thing yourself. Especially when the youtuber is just some fuckup selling TV dinners.
Both those clauses are in agreement…
Edit for the silly gooses:
Not hiring young folks and believing young folks aren’t prepared to be hired is consistent.
But then why forcing them to work at all?
