On the surface, it’s a golden opportunity for students needing part-time gigs. But experts caution: these jobs may not deliver the career-building growth young people truly crave. While some managers say hiring inexperienced workers is easy, keeping them long-term is harder — often immigrants or temporary workers stick around longer. This reflects a broader trend toward gig-style flexibility, which creates entry-level roles but doesn’t always align with youth goals for meaningful, skill-building careers. So while the numbers look promising, the real impact on long-term employment and development remains uncertain. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
