Jerome Powell and Economists Agree: Gen Z Faces a Hiring Crisis And That's Not About Al
In 2025, the rising unemployment rate among Americans under 25, specifically recent graduates, has become a significant economic concern. This problem seems to be uniquely American, stemming from a "no hire, no fire" economy, rather than the advent of artificial intelligence (AI).
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is worried about the current labor market. He pointed out that young college graduates, minorities, and younger people are struggling more to find jobs.
Powell underscored the low job finding rate and redundancy rate, signifying a "low firing, low hiring environment."
While AI has often been accused of disrupting entry-level positions, Powell proposed that a slowed economy and hiring restraint are the main culprits. This perspective was backed up by leading economists at Goldman Sachs and UBS, reports Fortune.
UBS chief economist Paul Donovan contended that the surge in U.S. youth unemployment is contrary to global trends and cannot be solely credited to AI.
He proposed that the U.S. labor market is unique, with the main problem being a broader hiring freeze that affects new workforce entrants.
Goldman Sachs economist Pierfrancesco Mei told Fortune that job reallocation has been on the decline since the late 1990s.
He stated that almost all job changes are occurring as "churn," which primarily affects younger workers. As of 2025, churn was significantly below pre-pandemic levels.
Donovan also noted that less educated workers are less impacted, with high school dropouts securing full-time employment at a younger age than recent grads.
This trend indicates a shift towards trade employment, especially among blue-collar entrepreneurs.
The consequences for Gen Z and minority jobseekers are severe, with experts cautioning about enduring damage to earnings, homeownership prospects, and wealth accumulation.
Powell also noted that stricter immigration measures are decreasing the labor supply, further intensifying the problem.
👉 Will Gen Z face a permanent setback in wealth and opportunity, or is this a temporary labor market shock?

📉 China’s Youth Unemployment Hits Record High – A Silent Storm Brewing 🌪️💔
😞 A quiet crisis is turning into a loud warning. China’s youth unemployment has now reached record-breaking levels, leaving millions of young graduates stuck, confused, and deeply frustrated. It’s no longer just an economic issue — it’s becoming a generational emergency. 😞
📚 Many of these young people have spent years studying hard, only to find no jobs waiting for them. With competition rising and opportunities shrinking, even top-tier graduates are settling for low-paying or part-time work — or no work at all. 📚
💼 The pressure is intense. Families are depending on them. Society expects them to succeed. But the jobs? Just not there. And this growing gap between education and employment is leading to anxiety, depression, and even anger across the youth population. 💼
🧠 Some say the issue lies in China's fast-changing economy. Others blame outdated education models or over-saturation in certain career fields. But one thing is clear: if the system doesn’t adapt fast, an entire generation could lose its momentum. 🧠
🌍 This crisis also affects the global economy. China plays a major role in tech, finance, and production. If its young talent is left behind, innovation may slow down, and the ripple effects could reach far beyond its borders. 🌍
💬 What do you think — can China fix this youth job crisis before it’s too late? Or is the damage already done? Let’s talk in the comments. 💬
