Summary
Several factors in 2020 are contributing to an unexpectedly tough job market, especially for first-time job seekers like Gen Z. This, in turn, is contributing to lifestyle changes that many members of Gen Z didn't see coming-one of them being the infamous "Moving back home" step.
The vast majority would "Absolutely" or "Probably" be more likely to apply for a job that had recruiters and materials that reflected an ethnically and racially diverse workplace.
We've found that 81% of Gen Z strongly agree that it's important to establish connections with employers even if they don't have an immediate job opening.
Timing is a critical factor in the job search process, and making-and maintaining-strong connections with potential employers will give you a significant advantage when it comes time for them to hire a new team member.
Here's a secret: Just as you're targeting your job search to align with your priorities and greater sense of purpose, companies will be targeting their candidate search to align with theirs.
At Tallo, we found that Gen-Zers are looking for more job stability than their predecessors: less than 6% are very likely to participate in the gig economy after graduation, and 51% want to stay at their first full-time job for at least three years.
Gen Z is entering the workforce in a tough job market when much of the workforce is working remotely.
