&gt; Most of the comments here focus on how people aren&#x27;t trying hard enough to get jobs. This article indicates that the jobs don&#x27;t exist and that the problem is likely to get far worse.<p>The reality is that BOTH are true.<p>There is no law stating that each generation of humans should have it easier and with more resources available to them. My generation is facing this crisis, and the default response is to complain. Which is fine for a few minutes or days, it&#x27;s good to vent. But at the end of the day, that won&#x27;t change anything. It&#x27;s time to get to work, even if &quot;work&quot; is 20-30% (random number) tougher than what our parents dealt with. Assigning blame doesn&#x27;t solve anything.<p>That being said, I definitely agree some sort of Basic Income strategy will be necessary going forward. Perhaps soon.
