Pretty much every young person (in their 20's) that I know outside of work (obviously) either can't get a job, or has an "in-between" job (e.g. temp work). All but one of them have college degrees (albiet not necessarily in the most useful subjects), all of them are either living with their parents, or are heavily funded by them.
They all report more or less the same, hundreds of job applications going out, mostly zero, or only 1-2 responses (but for jobs that they have hundreds of candidates for).
Forget buying a house (which is totally unaffordable), even paying their monthly bills is a challenge.
Seems like with AI (for a lot of white collar jobs at least), this isn't going to get better. Governments might have to start thinking about UBI ...
