Bill Gates encourages Gen Z to embrace AI tools as they are engaging and empowering. However, despite this recommendation, the job market is still challenging for recent graduates. Entry-level job postings have decreased by 35% since January 2023, with roles vulnerable to automation experiencing the greatest impact. A survey indicates that 49% of US Gen Z job hunters feel AI has diminished the value of their degrees. The unemployment rate for this demographic has risen above 6%, contrasting with the national rate of 4%.
"Embracing [AI], and tracking it, will be very, very important. That doesn't guarantee we're not going to have a lot of dislocation."
"Gen Z is increasingly burnt out from job hunting before even getting started. Frustrated applicants have lamented on TikTok about the number of rejection emails they have received from companies and expressed fears that the job market feels broken."
