"Every generation has it tough, but some are more burdened than others. Consider the millions of newly minted college graduates entering a labor market that has rarely looked so forbidding."
"The unemployment rate for young graduates is already at its highest level since the start of the pandemic - the global scourge that, just six years ago, yanked those same kids out of high school."
"One school of thought holds that, whatever challenges lie in the future, people will manage to adapt and flourish. This is what we did in the aftermath of other shocks to the system."
"The former paradigm is best represented by How to Start: Discovering Your Life's Work, by Jodi Kantor, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter best known for her investigations exposing the crimes of Harvey Weinstein."
New college graduates are entering a labor market that is increasingly challenging, with high unemployment rates and the looming threat of AI replacing jobs. The pandemic has already disrupted their transition from high school to adulthood. There are differing views on the future; some believe people will adapt as they have in past economic crises, while others fear that AI will fundamentally change work and society. Jodi Kantor's book, inspired by her commencement speech, offers insights into navigating these challenges.
