>had to guess, the real youth unemployment rate is around 30 percent.
You're pretty spot on. From what I remember 22% are officially unemployed, another 20% have completely given up looking for work, and then 25% are underemployed working crap like retail and Uber but are only counted as employed bc of that. All these included about 70% of zoomers are effectively stunted economically with little hope of that changing. Much of that left over 30% that made it into a the corporate wage job they wanted are miserable at it and are still living paycheck to paycheck.
The system isn't working for almost anyone : /
