"Apparently" job prospects will pick up as soon as the boomer generation increase their rate of retirement. but seeing how there is another recession just round the corner...
What that article fails to mention is the effect that mass unemployment has on those in jobs, wages get driven down , increased casualization of the workforce etc. There was a good HBO documentary on it a while back.

Exactly. This is what so many Millenials just don't get, literally waiting in line for a job which won't be there when its vacated by the Boomer delaying retirement for another 5 years.
Bloke I used to play in a band with studies the topic, was getting some press for a while. But yeah, has dropped off the radar.

It'll do all the Tory-loving Australian youth good to have to live through a recession. They don't know how good they've had it here for the past two decades.
Let them join the dole queue for a while, then get a **** paying, casual job in a non-unionised workplace where the boss can drop them like a bad habit for no good reason and treat them like ****. Because #freedom.
Merry Christmas.

Seeing how a crash in America has major implications for the rest of the world and **** like this is part of the reason it will happen sooner or later...

Some blame for the parents who utterly failed to educate them on how bad things can get because they thought it would last forever too.

Well events gig fell through, got down to the last two and they went with someone vastly more experienced yada yada yada. best of luck to em. Meantime the casual gig I had has turned into Full time, it's nothing glamorous (courier) and I'm still on the hunt for a better job but it's a regular wage and It's not in an office (which is a nice change). Have been doing it casually for the last month and a bit which has been great for listening to the Ashes. Speaking of, time to change the ole avatar.

Haha true, to be fair one of them is justified (American Bride, marrying Mrs Ripper's Brother) which is tough to ignore. The other though is just a friend of Mrs Rippers, so we'll be off to Bali and I'll need to steal 2/3 days of Annual leave in the first two months of the new job. I'll be Mr Popular with the Manager.
Is it about the new glasses? They probably miss their old glasses.

While I'm sure the care factor is near zero, I'm back working in sport (have been for a month). Contract role to end of October at which point I can go back to the courier gig if nothing new has come up. It's taken 12 months of resumes/interviews but **** me it's good to be back in the game.
