Summary
Remote work, once hailed as a game-changer, is secretly sabotaging young grads’ job hunts. A new study reveals that employers are far less likely to hire inexperienced college grads for remote roles — leaving them stuck in unemployment while older workers (29+) see lower jobless rates in those same positions. The gap vanishes in non-remote fields like construction or healthcare, and even holds true for non-college grads. Why? Because training new hires remotely is tougher — no in-person mentorship means fewer chances to learn the ropes. Remote work is blamed for nearly two-thirds of the spike in youth unemployment since the pandemic. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
