Seems like worst of both worlds if you are starting out: recession in terms of job opportunities (hard to find a job) yet house prices are still were they were at the beginning of Covid (11 times earning - a historical record by a long shot). So you can't find a job to pay the rent, while the rent is at a historical high relative to earning.
