If you or someone you love is a Gen Zer, you’re likely aware of how hard it is to get a job right now. It may even feel like this particular generation is being singled out as an unemployable group.
Several surveys, including this recent one from Intelligent.com, show that one in six employers are hesitant to hire a Gen Z employee. The survey of 966 companies found that 75% of all participants said that recent Gen Z hires were unsatisfactory and that 6 out of 10 of those companies fired a recent college graduate in their first year of employment. Reasons cited by respondents are common themes: Gen Zers are perceived as unprofessional, unmotivated, and lacking in communication and teamwork skills.
