The New York Times states that
young adults find their voices while fighting to be heard by potential jobs.
Millions of college graduates sends out numerous amounts of resumes to
potential jobs and rarely get a call back even for a unpaid internship. With that
being said it makes me wonder what is really going on? Are companies scared to
take a risk with a young adult because they don’t have faith that the young
adults can handle the workload? But employers say they will hire 10.2 percent
more college graduates from the class of 2012 than they did from the class of
2011, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Even so,
joblessness among the young remains at crisis levels, economists say. (Seligson
2012) Given the fact that I am a young adult this fact worries me. I am
concerned about my future because it seems as if no one wants to give the young
a chance. Even if you are a high school graduate and have some college
experience you are still worse off trying to enter in the job field. It is
understandable that jobs want people with more education but even when they are
well educated it’s still not enough.
The question comes up, “What can we do to change this?” There are many people working to try and
change this problem. The fact is that it is still a working progress and it is
something that can take years to turn around. Young adults have to be serious
and focused about their future to be able to overcome this issue.
