Gen z doesn’t want to work
Fake job listing is one of those things that should be illegal, i hope companies that do these also experience what it is like to be broke and homeless.
Its not fake... those jobs was not closed after a person took the role.... second... some jobs the company did not find qualified employees regarding skills and all that... third ... when the company did not meet someone... they would halt the job offer no matter they found the person they want or not.... I have been applying for many jobs more than 500 jobs on linked in and indeed as well as another app called bayt in 2023 alone.... I also applied for many jobs by hand... 3 times... each time I take a go... i bring with me 40 copies... I leave hard copies to their receptionist incase there is a job opening there is nothing. Girl I been to floor by floor on 65 floor towers like 4 times!. 2 years unemployed I swear in this gen it's so hard to get a job. If u found a man working and lives his life well that's the shot! Marry him and u don't have to work... because most easy jobs is now being taken by women... that's one of the reasons it's hard to find a job. So I belive the only place a woman could master is being a wife😊
It will take forever for government to make it illegal. Instead let ChatGPT apply for them in thousands.

Yup

@@captainsunbear5472its not luck, its the way the shitty corrupt broken system was designed. Its not really broken but engineered to be a failed system on purpose.
ain't that the truth. Before it wasn't like this but nowadays, totally true. After 3 years of looking for a job on my own. I'm only working now cuz I knew someone. Mind you, I hate asking people for favors or relying on others cuz I like to do things on my own. But seeking a job job the traditional way ain't working anymore. Long term plan for me is to start a profitable business.
unemployment is low cause lots of old people are coming back to the workforce cause they ran out of retirement & their social security checks don't give them enough to afford modern rent prices.

I will tell you we all as Americans are in the same boat as you. you are not the only one but the one who perseveres and continues rise against all odds will be the one who outperforms those who just take the bare 40 hours minimum. Like I said in previous comments there are many side hustles to start to make some side money. In your age group don't be picky on the pay but rather focus on the experience that will pay you dividends you will enjoy in your later years.
@@anthonylopez4398
Nice attempt, recruiter - trying to sell us on the work culture bullshit. Shaming those who want to work less and enjoy their lives and families and friends NOW; after having been through a pandemic that has shown us that life can be taken away at any moment. And trying to encourage people to do that side hustle bullshit: work more and exhaust yourself more so you get the "EXPERIENCE" that "will pay dividends you will enjoy in your later years" when you will be too old and probably too ill to enjoy it.
And how are we supposed to live NOW? How do we PAY OUR BILLS WITH "EXPERIENCE"? Especially when you're telling us NOT to be picky about pay. I mean, why don't we all just become volunteers? No pay at all. Just experience.
_Not being picky about pay_ is PRECISELY how people get exploited and end up having to quit or strike/protest or just end up mentally, emotionally, and physically burnt out. People SHOULD be paid more for what they are doing WITHOUT having to work more; there is enough wealth in the world for that to happen. It HAS happened in the past, and it DOES happen NOW for those privilged enough. We are NOT slaves. Slavery is illegal.
The more you are willing to work and just accept the bullshit pay, the more you will be exploited and get nothing for it. Accepting this problem WILL NOT solve it.
We SHOULD be standing up against this bullshit and demanding better. We exist for far greater purposes that just "hustling" 24/7/365.
The solution to this work problem is NOT "more work".
You have been fooled, but you're not fooling us.

No offense but I've got 10 years experience doing this, glowing reviews from current company, and moved up to networking role 6 months ago. I replied back stating that $25/hr is more fair inline with my experience level. No response. You'll get hired as long as you're willing to be underpaid.

These jobs lieing Nobody is currently hiring 😒
Exactly
I’ve been to several fake interviews where the managers had no idea that an interview was even taking place at a specific time. this economy is trash
On god
I'm 35 now and quickly learned years after high school it's who you know. Not what you know. If you have friends whos family has A business try to get on board. If your family has any businesses try to get on board on that as well. If you are currently at A job you dont like try to network with your colleagues and see if they know someone who is hiring into something you think you would like. Networking for me over the years got me good paying jobs. I hope this helps anybody who needs it.
35 checking in here. I got into software two years ago, and I've only floated by with contract (labor) work. Do you have any specific recommendations from starting your network back over from scratch?
I hope it doesn't come to it -- but I am honestly considering trying to get back into my old career field. (8 yrs QA manager / QE metrology / QC ), but the pay is just hot garbage right now.
Considering my narrowing time horizon to "settle" into an extremely underpaid old career feels real bad. Like big demotion, and loss of momentum. So, Any tips, or recommendations would be useful.
I don't have such connections and what you said actually violates labor laws like the equal opportunity act.
@@bebdaumon3948Can you elaborate on how it violates labor lawn/equal opportunity? I thought the work force already did that when they get applications and trash them instantly
But Now your just using them instead and they can see straight threw that especially after working for them for certain amount of time my best jobs are jobs I put my self on lol ig we are all different
@@Viziry I feel like I shouldn't have to explain this. But of course make the moves with good intentions. Be helpful and valuable. If you need A job to pay your bills and reach your personal financial goals. And A friend or family member needs the manpower, labor, and time of someone with the right qualifications for their business. And you meet the requirements. Both parties are winning. Also performing well, learning more skills, and making yourself more valuable in other ways at the job gains trust and respect. Potentially moving up if you choose to make it A career.
I feel depressed because ive been unemployed living with my dad. Were not poor, and we have all that we want and need, but I feel it isnt fair to my dad paying for everything. Now I see im not the only one not getting hired.

Try warehouse like Amazon, fedex, ups and Ulta. Took me 6month to find job at Amazon.
All I can say is, if you find a job stick with it until you find another job. These companies & recruiters are playing games. I had an interview last Monday, and 30 minutes before the interview I received an email & text informing me that the interview had been canceled.
Same thing happened to me which is crazy

I mean ur 21 shouldn’t u be in college anyways? And if u get a degree then maybe you’ll have a better chance at actually finding a good job.
@@shawyonsharifi3394 No in the UK you finish college at 18-19 years depending on the course you did some are 2 years which is called "sixth form" and then there is a 4 year course with the first year being a foundation year for those who want to retake failed GCSE exams. I did a 4 year course, I came in college at the standard age 16 in 2019 and was supposed to finish in 2022 at 19 but because of the 2020 lockdown it was pushed to 2023 and I finished in 2023 at 20. Normally at 19-22 you are just in the middle or finishing university. In the UK you can start leagally working at 16 when you finish secondary school. I had a job before the pandemic at 16 but got let go because of lockdown and ever since the pandemic finding a job has extremely been hard.
@@shawyonsharifi3394 Getting a degree won't mean anything if you can't get the job. I know people who graduted from college with a college degree and they're still looking for a job. The best thing I can think of is look for programs that is related to your job and do those interships, even if it doesn't pay because it will help their resume.
There’s something so wrong with a system that’s willing to pay somebody to sit in a chair and make ghost job postings but not actually hire someone to do real work.
Everyone keeps saying "Go into the trades" but that ship has already sailed. I have friends who went to trade school last year chasing that bag and now they both work at Walmart because no one wants to apprentice new hires for trade jobs. Tradesmen are enjoying all the work they're getting right now and adding an extra employee to their crew just means another person to split the profits with so they'll only do it if they're getting more work than their current workforce can handle. The end result is even the trades have become hard to get into because everyone currently working in the trades knows it's about to be flooded with new applicants so they're hoarding all the work and getting that bag while the going is good. I don't blame them, but it just really goes to show that there is no easy meal ticket in today's job market.
Thank you!! Every time I go on a video like this there’s always some boomer in the comment section telling everyone to go into trades and make six figures breaking your back. Trades shouldn’t be the only option and it’s not even a guarantee for success.
@@sirisaac6225 And the six-figures isn't even true. The only people making six-figures in the trades are on-site supervisors and business owners.
Finally somebody giving the real advice for this. Not to mention, not everybody is cut out for trades. Alot of people don't have the physical endurance for it. And even worse, people seriously think being in trades will just have six figures falling in their laps..lol lol

Yup they’re a rip off 😂
unemployment figures are fudged numbers. The numbers only include people that got laid off from a job and is currently looking for work while collecting unemployment. Once, their unemployment is off they drop those from the number. They just assume they found job when in reality most don't find one and t hey exhausted the unemployment and they're either homeless or living with family or friends. They're hiding the fact that the economy is bad and the jobs they're creating are just labor jobs that aren't careers.
I'm part of that number, I got a computer science degree in 2022 (if you know anything about the tech job market, you'll know this means the degree isn't even worth the paper it's printed on) but haven't been able to get any work since graduating, but because I live with my mom I don't qualify for unemployment because she has a job and unemployment eligibility is based on household income, not individual income. So despite having been out of work for two entire years because not even McDonald's will respond to my job applications, I am not included in that figure.
@@kaijuultimax9407 No, unemployment is strictly based on what you paid into it. What you're talking about is welfare. The unemployment rate is only people collecting unemployment. It doesn't count people on welfare or anyone that isn't working. The people that are getting unemployment once that runs out. They take you off the unemployment rate which is why you see big drops after a while and they will report the economy is improving when in reality it's not because they assume the people that exhausted unemployment must have found a job. In reality they can just exhausted the unemployment and then end up moving in with either parents or friends or if they don't have that support they end up in the streets. I got 2 degrees Accounting and Finance graduated in 2015. I couldn't get internships nor entry level jobs. At that time there wasn't much where I live but now it's rare to find internships or entry level jobs. There's less in my area and too many people with degrees running around looking for work.

I’m getting denied from dishwasher/janitorial cleaning jobs at restaurants or fast food places, even construction labor… all rejected. Rejected 21 times from Walmart too. I’m Canadian btw
It sucks but the hard facts are that businesses aren't doing so good.
Literally only hiring the best of the best to help get the company out of the red.
This is the most realistic comment. In most cases, this is what is happening. Apparently, you must be in the top 1% of 0.01 % to get a job nowadays.

@@anthonylopez4398 I have a few businesses
@@anthonylopez4398 You start a business when you have capital to invest. If you're jobless and looking for work just to be able to eat you're not in a position to start a business from scratch. It's not easy to start a business. 95% of all startups fail in their first year.. .why? most of the time they underestimated how much money it would take to get the business running. You need at least 200k to start any business. Even a vending machine business. They tell you oh it just cost 3k to get a brand new vending machine and then you buy items from Costco or sams club and fill it. They forget to tell you that you need to put the vending machine at a mall or an aiport or on someone else commercial property. They charge rent for the space and you have to pay the eletric that powers that vending machine even if you generate 0 sales you have to buy those for sure. This is when you realize you can't start out with just one vending machine you need a decent amount of them at high traffic locations. It's not easy to start.
@@anthonylopez4398you’re a Lyft driver. Pipe down.
I have connections, but the companies are too greedy to hire, so they haven’t had the chance to get me in the door yet. The Great Resignation is over and no one is quitting anymore bc there is nothing, meaning no space for those looking. Unemployment in total is at 3.5% and unemployment for new grads specifically is said to be at 7%. Economy is failing, market is trash, inflation is up, businesses down, house prices are up, gas prices up, groceries up, no one can live, president is incompetent, it’s been hopeless so far
7%? that means 93% are hired, those numbers are completed fabricated, its more like 70% arent getting hired
I walk into places, to talk to the manager or owner. A decade ago when I was in high school, that was completely fine.
But now when I do that and ask for a job, the IMMEDIATELY tell me to go online and apply. And now I’m going to start refusing to do that. Because applying online has gotten me nowhere for the past 6 months.
boy if you paying my mortgage, light gas, phone bill ....i'll quit my $65k job, tomorrow !!
Stop supporting/buying from these companies that won't hire. They'll start losing business and come back to earth
💯
😂🎉
😂😂😂
u missed the whole point of the video😅
I stopped working a few months ago. All the hard work i poured into a scammy non profit I am now pouring into myself and my own business endeavors. I would rather stress out over my own problems than those of other people who didnt even appreciate my hard hard work and dedication.
Which non profit?
Advice from a young millennial here… save money and time by going to community college or trade school. That’s what I did and still am able to hace a successful career making just under 50k (47k). I work in corporate taxes. 😊
Currently in community college for auto tech .. hoping to make the same amount when I finish all classes for my major 📈 keep going up

@herefrve Best mindset to have
Exactly
I’m currently employed and I work in retail. I’m so tempted to quit because management is terrible but I have to remember that it took me so long to find this job and I should be grateful I even found anything 😭
Mannnnn I did not realize how fortunate I was to have a job paying 25/hr with benefits!!! I was being childish during covid and got mad because we still had to go to work while everyone else got 2 weeks off and quit!! Nobody is handing out opportunities like they used to no more!! I went job hunting last week and people act like I'm doing something wrong by showing up to a company and handing them my resume and asking to speak to a hiring manager!!!! The last time I went job hunting people liked the fact that I would show up and ask to speak to a manager. Sometimes I would get an interview on the spot! Times have certainly changed! The next opportunity I get I'm holding on to it for dear life!!
Edit: I just got a job offer yesterday. I wish everyone the best of luck and great success 🙏
wait so you're physically going to them to show your resume?? huh aren't we in 2024
boy what!! got up to 17hr WFH chat job during covid and quit for the same reason your stated SMFH…
@@Sheed96 ok and ?!?!? That's how I got my job paying 25/hr in 2016. Your point?!?!? My mom is the hiring manager for the kinesiology department at Lonestar community college and she will look over to resume if you don't come in physically and inquire about the job or at least email her! Just putting in an application is not enough. You know how many applications these hr managers receive? You think they're actually going to go through each resume 1 by 1 and look over them? WRONG! You have to make your self stand out and now a days they have AI going over applications so if your resume doesnt have keywords or requirements you will get an automated denial email. Matter of fact I have a job interview this Friday for an industrial electrician position paying 30/hr nd I only got the interview because I showed up physically and inquired about the job.

Great video! I was thinking about this the other day… these fake job posting is a CRISIS. We have to do what our parents/grandparents did and get on our feet.
These companies have always done this, especially once employees started quiet quitting. It's just a way to have better or backup candidates for the job
My best advice for those needing money, sell digital courses (or even tutor/teach classes) on skills you already have. For example, if you do hair, know how to cook, play sports as a hobby, etc. Build an audience around that thing, then teach other people about it
Soon, AI will do this
Yeah, when I have free time, I want to teach people how to play saxophone since it’s my main hobby. I also want to get into PC building.
@@Bigmike24743 yes do it! You can make a lot of money with that!
Unemployment now. It’s very sad. I hope Gen Z can find more jobs online.
What jobs you talking bout
The education system and parents failed gen z. Companies know that's why they're suddenly rushing out with the AI. Ain't no future for us, and gen Z future is thru a VR headset.
@@wolfbeansthat sounded kiddish
I hope everyone knows what age gen z is 😭 1997-2010 . As 02 I am screwed if I lose my job. I applied to 30 in the last 6 weeks and got no call backs no nothing. The nearest Amazon is the next state even tho I see the buildings in my city 💀. I’m looking for a second job but if mc Donald’s not checking my application then idk what is
It’s all collapsing in a couple of years, there is no point
Love that you started with a deep breath. Sometimes that’s all one needs❤
Construction is not safe either, at least with new construction. Same with truck driving. Where I’m from new construction projects are taken over by Mexican and Guatemalan migrants. Hard workers, but the point is that the trades aren’t as “safe” as people thought it was going to be. AI might not take your construction job, but they will outsource migrants for cheaper labor.
The cost of a used semi alone is nuts let alone trying to find hauls which usually you will need to contract with company it isn't cheap. I do a lot of carpentry work and it is hard to find jobs let alone find one where they are going to pay you big bucks to do work, people are broke they cannot afford to pay extremely high prices for your labor plus the costs of materials.
My brother sadly has to start working in a truck driving field! And you can’t imagine how I worry for him
I get it as a Hispanic American 😅😂
I helped my mom make a million at her tax office this year. She also got a bonus from the tax software company for 60k. She only gave me 2,500 and I’m struggling with a child. This shit is disgusting.
what the hell? that's just bewildering.
This is insane
America is fucked, yall can’t agree on anything huh😂😂 grow up America the golden days have been over and now we are dealing with the consequences. We are all slaves to the dollar now and the sooner people own up and realize this and that this ain’t a sunflower patch it can change
It ain’t that we can’t agree is that people that haven’t gone through it literally just wont understand. 50 people could go through something but all it takes is that 1 person to get lucky and have a different experience (Job offer 10 applications). Now we’re all just lazy bullsh*tters not trying hard enough just because another person was able to achieve what we couldn’t.
dollar is about to die, the petro dollar deal with saudi is dead, 97 nations going to the BRICS summit coming up.
@Opin10n it's our fault we weren't born 50 years early!

Sorry bro I should’ve started investing in the stock market in 2004 when I was a baby, my bad 😹

Don't work a nine to five I worked nine to fives my whole life basically you're building someone else's company when you can built you're own like me.
I like how you talk with proper English like those 1st Asian American generation. Personally, I find it to be very respectful, classy, wise and intelligent.
Lol they aren’t holding on to thousands of resumes to reach out to you later. They are collecting your resumes/information to sell to data brokers. They make a large profit without ever having to payout wages to employees.

As a gen Z I've been applying to jobs since 2022 and no one called me for a interview and no one hired me.
What kind of jobs?
@@chloe-ev3qk Different kinds like retail,fast, food, and etc.
@@Pikastation28 I mean I applied to about 30 jobs until I got my retail one but sometimes it’s just a bad time of the year. My sister applied to in n out at the end of summer and she got a call within 3 hours. She has no experience. Try fixing your resume a bit and apply at the end of summer when students quit and they need people (now would be good)
Even in 2010s applying to jobs via indeed or other systems wasn’t how to get even an interview. You need to network or directly connect with people. Even better is a friend or connection. Or work on projects and make them public. Most jobs are real but they hire like 1-2 people. No one wants more resumes.. when you post a listing using hiring software you get so many resumes that the challenge he is deciding which ones to even review. This is why direct connection or standing out matters. No hiring manager wants to have more resumes on hand.
Two great books: _Act Your Wage_ and _Wage Slave No More_
I can actually see the collapse over country for the first time. It's going to be an interesting experience
I’ve applied for thousands of jobs. Only had a few interviews. No luck. Still just doing Ubereats but it’s too oversaturated so not making any money
Even if I apply 90% of jobs never hire even with no experience required. Sad time we live in. Literally starving wondering why I’m not a D bag scamming making it easy for myself. But imma good person and us good people don’t get anywhere in life.
Im GEN X. And what I have to say to the generations that followed me is do not pay any attention to the people like me or older saying that you are lazy and entitled. I see Crystal clear what has happened in this world and basically all in any and all incentive to actually work a job has been removed. Just ask Al Bundy or Homer Simson. You are NOT lazy, but you are EFFed over. Its not right.
I’m not even getting interviews for jobs that I use to get easily
Same, I applied to 40 jobs now because I’m done with school out of the 40 jobs, I got 3 call backs.
I have applied to over 100 jobs and found nothing but 4 interviews. I have worked many jobs and got great experience for entry level jobs. Why did I find nothing? IDFK! This country SUCKS!
Apply to as many government jobs as you can. State, county, local, federal, whatever. In many cases they are required to actually sift though every single applicant and will almost always get back to you with a direct response. Whether it’s positive or negative. Government jobs aren’t just thrown up willy nilly, if you see something advertised then it definitely exists and they need someone for that role. No such thing as a fake job posting on a government website. However, the main downside with government hiring processes are how long they take. Because they have to comb through every applicant it can take months to hear back.
Gen Z trying to get that dream job, and sounding more like JayRock at the pop out these days. "Stop chasing that bitch", and they might be dead on. 👏
I had an experience recently and this popped up in my feed. I applied to 48 places recently, 1 got back to me to say I'm not a good fit. The rest literally just ignored me. If this is how it is for someone like me who actually has experience in the positions i'm applying for I cannot imagine what it's like for a highschool grad or homeless individual.
Yep. Every single job that I applied for rejected me or gave their position for someone else. Its been 10 months since October I've been applying, and HALF of them were fake jobs and scams with "Urgently hiring."
Get u a group of Friends n make your own path...
Takes money to do that doesn't it?
@@DustinDonald-cz9ot Yes, people think it's easy to start a business and make millions. It's harder every year because the market is so saturated. 95% of all startups fail in the first year and it's due to not knowing how much things really cost to just get started in such businesses. No one looks at the long term.
@@DustinDonald-cz9otyou could do SMMA or copywriting if you all practice together you can make fast progress
@@DustinDonald-cz9otdo fraud 😂
Also starting a business with your friends usually ends poorly 😅 Unless they’re willing to go about business are more partners and make solid contracts if things go south
Got a job but it’s a hour away from my house 😢
With AI and outsourcing trades like plumbing, electrical, HVAC is what will be left. Oh yeah and migrants taking jobs.
Who will have money to pay YOU?
I’m a huge fan of the trades, they can pay well and don’t require college
Plumbing ....u still need to talk English to the customers....most migrants can't do that....go to school for welders great career
What jobs are migrants taking from you?
You really want to scrub toilets or pick fruit ?
Stop blaming migrants for taking jobs you will never take.
Unlikely. Unless massive shift in 5 years to cover the gaps
Yuuupp it rough out here, I have a Masters degree, been in the military did 16 years, Im working but very underpaid. My advice for younger people go active duty for at least 4 yrs or 20 and get the retirement and benefits. Go Airforce or Navy and get a job where you wont be on frontlines. Use the benefits to pay for school with a career that is IN DEMAND, like medical, tech, accounting, mental health counselor etc
I don’t think I’ll qualify because of my knee (AcL replacement)
i wanna be on the front lines😈🏋️#gruntlife
@@BriW444A good recruiter will waiver that shit.
I’m a boomer. You are an articulate, awesome young man! You make gen z look fab!! Keep up the good work!
The only way I got a job was to get hired at the place where my sister already works and she put in a good word for me to her manager. The interview was a formality, I got hired on the spot pretty much. It's in healthcare and it pays about 20 an hour so not the best, but I don't need super high pay to make rent.
It seems this is the only way right now
Ima say I’ve been lucky recently but it hasn’t always been the case. I work 7 days out of a 14 day pay period. It works for me but I’ll be honest, it took me a while to find the job.
It’s always been a networking game. Great content and solid advice bro💯
Brilliant evaluation, but so tragic to see this happening to Gen Z. Trades have always been a great path for FBA to achieve upward mobility in the US. BTW that Hollywood Bowl Jazz tee shirt is fire. #newsub #loveyourchannel
Trades jobs are hard to get now. Everyone and their mother wants to be a plumber because they realized degrees are junk. One posting for an entry level trades job can get hundreds of applicants
Thanks! Had fun at the festival. And I
appreciate the comment, I agree.
I want us to create our own jobs
Yea but it takes money to do that you’re not going to create your own profitable business without some capital you have to crawl before you can walk you NEED A JOB AT SOME POINT they’re closing the door on peoples ability to feed themselves
@@X564M no we just need a skill and a way to monetize that skill. Look at social media and how people monetize that
This is worse than the great depression
The unemployment rate is low because many of us have exhausted our benefits and are off unemployment. But we haven’t found lucrative work yet.
It's funny that I got an Indeed ad before watching this lol
If it wasn't for FedEx I wouldn't be working but I still need 2 other jobs with side hustles. It's gotta so bad that people are paying for apartments or homes to just sleep a few hours and shower they barely live there because they are always working. Rent and utilities aren't even included together and is over $1000. You're right we have to know lots of people and that was my biggest mistake for not networking.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP. YES!! WE HAVE A GEN Z CRISIS. OUR BASIC NEEDS ARE. NOT. BEING. MET. WE CAN'T EVEN WORK TO AFFORD. OUR. BASIC. NEEDS. LITERALLY EVERYONE. HAS. TO. TREAT. THIS. AS. THE. CRISIS. THIS. IS.

I left my job I was at for 3years due to harassment , filed unemployment. Got denied. Been applying for the past 6 months only luck were temp agencies . Mind you no felonies
Can relate to this i was fired from amazon after 4 half years.ive been applying to 20 jobs a day on linkedin and indeed. Not one had gotten back to me ,its been 2 months. And most i am over qualified for. It really is discouraging . To many fake job post or jobs where they automatically reject applicants
