La percentuale di laureati in lavoro a tempo pieno scende al 59 %

Massive oversaturation of university places and massive undersupply of jobs due to low-wage labour availability, poor productivity growth and garbage business conditions will do that to a country I’m afraid.

And watch the government blame them for being lazy. Never mind the severe lack of jobs for the graduates.

I’ve just completed an apprenticeship and there’s absolutely no jobs going right now. I applied to a part time position which only offers 4 hours just so I could gain some experience, I know one of the people in the company and they stated on the first day of the job being posted, they already had five applications and they leaving it up for a month. I didn’t think a 4 hour post would be so competitive.

The worst part is, I really struggled doing the apprenticeship, it was very hard work but I was assured repeatedly it would pay off, well if I can’t find I job I won’t be able to meet the registration qualifications which would make my apprenticeship and all the extra hours I put in in my own time redundant.

But at least the government understands and is trying to help… oh wait, apparently according to them all young folk are just lazy work shy folks who just need to go to work.
