https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5PWgI4AlN8

How about another reason, Bidenomics isn't working for them.

Why blame just the American administration, this is happening all over the place. (here in NZ at least)

Yeah, it's the cost of living combined with Gen Z's laziness and poor social skills.

Agreed

It's happening all over the world and has been happening much longer than angry gen zers want to admit. Longer than they have been alive, in fact.

It's been several generations since the growth of the job market has matched population growth. Trying to lay the blame at one door is just political expediency.

It´s usually some "social component" in other societies, which here are about that if You need to fire people - You fire those which are new in the company, or those which don´t have family - or those which don´t have relatives / good friends within the company.

Poor social skills are more about spamming threads about the same topics, and it doesn´t depend on the generation You´re in.

Also there´s no evidence that Genz Z is more lazy than every other generation. But there´s evidence that workers themselves don´t fight for their rights any more. But rather blame anybody but themselves for the situation.
also colleges are turining into degree mills. I know of a prestigious private college that is trying to get student's with a BA degree within 3 years and barely providing them with practical knowledge.

Degrees aren't that special anymore since half the people applying for jobs have them now. Skills and experience get jobs.

Social skills and relationships to be more precise. And of course low demands about the own life. And some work life balance which is about: work + time to sleep, eat and be more fit for the work = lifetime.

OP sure likes the blame the government a lot instead of promoting personal responsibility
They should spend less time watching YouTube, so they will have time to find out what they are good at.

When both political parties sold jobs overseas and employees are disposable what do you expect?

Plus a public education system that educates children to be self absorbed narcissistic unemployable zombies doesn't help.

I was going to say something similar. Once people are adults, or even teens, think going online is fine, but to start life on the internet doesn't teach skills essential to learn at an early age
