Description
A new study reveals nearly 250,000 young workers are stuck in underemployed roles due to rigid contracts, leaving almost 120,000 full-time jobs untapped—especially in healthcare, education, and social work. Systemic barriers like inflexible schedules, tax disincentives, and outdated contract rules are holding back a generation ready to contribute. The total lost labor potential? About 164,000 full-time positions. It’s not just a personal struggle—it’s a national bottleneck stifling growth and opportunity.
