Gen Z's career cliff is worse for men - thanks to one corner of the job market
Briefly

Gen Z men are experiencing higher unemployment rates compared to women, particularly in sectors where women excel, like healthcare. Traditional career paths in tech, law, and government are declining, with AI impacting entry-level job availability. Many young men are facing difficulties entering the job market, as employers are less likely to hire new workers amidst a cooling labor market. In contrast, Gen Z women benefit from job stability in growing fields, significantly contributing to their lower unemployment rates.
Employers are holding steady with the workers they have, and workers are also holding steady in their roles. That can make it harder for new labor market entrants to come in, it could be tougher for men who are looking for jobs where there's just not a whole lot of hiring right now.
Gen Z women tend to have higher job stability, partially because of their dominance in in-demand sectors like healthcare and the nursing field.
Traditional paths to success in fields like tech, law, and government are disappearing, and AI is disrupting the entry-level rung of the career ladder.
The overall labor market also took a dive in July, indicating that companies have less demand for workers and fewer Americans are participating in the labor market.
