I giovani sono i più colpiti dalla crisi occupazionale nel Regno Unito, avverte il think tank

One of the key drivers in having a shortage of jobs is business costs.

A lot of people with some HR, management or self-employed experience tend to chime in and mention the Tax and NI rises of the last year, but this neglects the fact that when you look at the longer term you find we’re multiple years in to an emvironment of business energy prices and rents continuously creeping upwards. That is the biggest reason they aren’t able to offer many positions (and hours) in the first place.

It is dire out there for young people, even just casual hospitality work has become difficult to get due to lack of experience. The days of “No experience required, full training provided” are long gone, even most kitchen porter jobs require experience now. The sector is becoming increasingly dominated by those with university education who couldn’t find work in their field.

They are aware.

Purely anecdotal; was interesting as an older Millennial talking to my younger zoomer family members at Christmas dinner. One is nurse, the others have a mixture of non graduate jobs or unemployment.

They all put the blame purely on Labour; Minimum wage being pushed too high and more taxes on jobs. These are the people Labour should be winning by putting up minimum wage – but even they can see it doesn’t matter what minimum wage is – if no one can find a job.

Personally, I believe Labour inherited a bad situation and made it worse. High interest rates, global unrest, and loss of confidence had all put a damper on investment and jobs. AI and people working till older has also added to the pressure. Labour have then come along made things worse – with most businesses leaders thinking the next 4 years is going to be bad but what comes after is going to be even worse.

If I was their age – I would leave.

How much did they pay that think tank? It’s pretty obvious that the younger generations are fucked

Older people can’t get hired either but I appreciate the fact that it’s important for a young person to get that first experience

Not surprised. I have 2-3 years of experience under my belt atp and I get rejection emails because there’s prob someone out there with 5-6 willing to take a pay cut just to stay employed so their CV doesn’t get obliterated with an unwanted and unexpected employment gap.

Can’t imagine how difficult it is for fresh grads.

I’ve applied for about 60 jobs in the last 2 weeks. 

I’m 18 years old attending a university in a major city. 

I’ve had 18 responses with 14 saying due to a large amount of applicants they won’t even let me get my foot in the door. 

1 cited lack of xp on the job.

3 gave me a phone call. 

1 said that for part time I needed to be available at all hours for at least 4 days. 

Another said that at the end of the interview they’d give me a ring later and not got shit after a week. 

Last one made me sit down and draw pictures of a shoe in a group and essentially tell me I needed to be a US retail worker levels of constant fake happiness to make a damn sale. 

Its fucking rough man.

Haha you think?!

I graduated in 2010, I’ve worked solely in shitty economies, and it’s not getting any better.

I’m no longer young, but the current generation likely hasn’t known a good economy. They were born into a decent economy, but by the time they entered school the signs were there for the financial crash. Their entire lives are defined by austerity, recession, or underfunding of public resources.

Yeah, but are the boomers ok? Have been on enough cruises this year?
