    It drives me nuts that businesses are unwilling to invest in the next generation of workers. There is a serious lack of traing and mentorship. Then, without an ounce of irony, management will complain about the quality of cost of candidates.

      The next generation? They aren’t even willing to invest in the current lol. They don’t give two shits. They will a use people nonstop, and people CONTINUE buying shit…like what in the hell…

      People are honestly stupid AF. Bare necessities. Stop…buying…anything…but survival. Seriously…it’s so messed up.

      Businesses aren’t investing in the future generations for the same reasons that any politician capable of doing anything meaningful has fucked off into retirement. No point in spending your last minutes on the Titanic doing repairs. The greedy and powerful are smashing and grabbing and burning though human resources like it’s the end of the world, because it is. And the rest of us are smoking em if we got em.

    Well, maybe if they stopped eating so much avocado toast and went looking for a job, they could find one. /s

    Also, anyone else have to look up what a “NEET” is?

    Older generations may balk at that assertion, but the numbers don’t lie: As independent economists point out, when employment is measured based on whether the employed can actually survive on their wages, the unemployment rate is actually above 24% — less than a percentage point away from the all-time high unemployment during the Great Depression.

    NEET - not in employment, education or training. So no one else has to figure out what the acronym of the day is.

      Just say unemployed or jobless. No need to get technical in the headline

        It feels weird to defend a buzzword but…

        It’s more specific and inclusive than either of those words and is clearly the product of a larger societal conversation, meaning it indicates a problem worth considering that shouldn’t be oversimplified just to avoid burdening readers with a new term.
