Employment gap below and above 35 years old \ stacker news ~charts_and

Hhhhmm.. Maybe you are looking in the wrong industry. I know this generation doesnt like getting its hands dirty, but there are a lot of process plant jobs, mechanical maintenance jobs, and specialized license jobs available everywhere. I took a test for my license, then applied and got a job the next day. Get out of your comfort zone and try something new!

At least for office jobs it's still insanely easy to get a job. At least for those who remember 2008-2011ish. Maybe not compared to 2018

wow that’s wild, why such a big distinction for two age categories that border each other?

Maybe there is nobody else in the category 25-34 years, everyone is employed. :)

A lot of people especially under 35 didn’t return to work or quit during covid.

My friend is a high school teacher. He said almost everyone who quit during or post covid was female

Yea a lot of people were fed up with shit pay, shit jobs, and being forced to come into work in the middle of a pandemic. I guess a lot just didn't go back.

Sorry to hear about your job search

I'm mostly a blue collar worker, didn't have the chance to finish school. I've worked on personal projects and aqquired skills like multimedia editing, vectoring, Unix systems, some scripting languages, vectoring, HTML and CSS. Hopefully someday i'll finally manage to sell my services directly to the final costumer, or work for some business where I can be of service and learn even more. Untill then, i'll wait tables no problem :)

If i can offer you some advice -- learn how to code and write software, and interact with AI models. AI will assist, but never truly replace, programming. Like a graphing calculator, or any tool, it did not take away anything from math, it just enhanced it.

The barrier to entry has never been lower, and tools like jupyter notebook allow you to learn and develop with python in the browser. Have a play with huggingface examples, they are surprisingly easy to get into.

if you dont know where to start with python, I can recommend "Head First Python" by Paul Barry as a good book.

If you can code, it doesn't matter if you finished school -- and doesn't matter where you live. You can work anywhere. You can do this.

Best of luck friend

Is unemployment high in your town?

It feels like so, but summer is coming. Maybe they'll need some more hands soon.
