Here’s Why It’s Getting Harder to Land Your First Job
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges young people face in landing their first job amid shrinking entry-level openings and the impact of AI and remote work on hiring practices.
The first rung of the career ladder is getting harder to reach. Entry-level openings are shrinking, competition is fierce, and AI is taking over junior tasks. At the same time, remote work and AI-powered applications are changing how companies hire and train workers. If entry-level jobs no longer provide an entry point, how are young people supposed to get the experience employers now expect? Our UK economy reporter Irina Anghel joins Stephen Carroll to discuss.
