Why uni students are struggling to find work

This is the story of thousands of uni students. They were promised that if they pulled all-nighters, did the internships and put in the extra hours, there’d be a job waiting at the end. But for many young Australians, the graduation gown came off, and the job never came.
Last month, the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed youth unemployment has climbed to 11.1%, the highest it’s been since 2021, when we were grappling with the pandemic.
On today’s podcast, we’re going to unpack why young people are being hit so much harder when it comes to unemployment, why it’s not just you struggling to land a job, and how it’s part of a much bigger shift in the job market.
