## Resource

Youth unemployment hits a 30-year high at 17.3%, sparking debate over whether government infrastructure spending and trades training can fix the crisis. Prime Minister Luxon bets big on $7 billion in projects creating 220,000 jobs, while unions warn roads won’t solve pay gaps or public service cuts. Australia’s soaring minimum wage adds pressure, and economists see recovery ahead—but only if global uncertainty lifts. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
