Young people are finding themselves pitted against hundreds of other applicants for entry-level positions.

Students looking for summer work are struggling to land roles, as there's enormous competition for entry-level roles. Retail NZ says businesses are seeing a 'much higher calibre' of potential applicants looking for jobs. Swivel Careers founder Kate Ross says even people with full qualifications are finding it tough to land the right roles. "There's just not enough work out there right now. The economy has been slow all year - the opportunities, even for retail and hospitality, that's all slowed down and that's generally where students out of school get their weekends in there."

Episode 151: Summer jobs are a rite of passage for many teens, offering a first taste of independence and responsibility. But these jobs come with their own set of benefits and challenges. On the one hand, they can teach valuable skills and provide financial independence. On the other hand, they can lead to stress, exploitation, and a delicate balancing act between work and personal life. Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss how we can ensure that the summer jobs teens take on are truly beneficial for their development without compromising their well-being. About the hosts Scott Rada is a digital strategist with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and author of "Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way).

Well, the heat is finally going to break but it was not going out like a bitch though. Instead we're getting near a 100 with humidity and a hell of storm before it finally allows us to cool off. It would probably have been more fitting to attach this to the summer jobs discussion but I liked this better as a main focal point this morning. We discuss dating a lot on this show as Angi is hell bent on getting Marris a mate. However, 80% of dating people, including Marris, are burned out on apps. A Dutch (you can hear Angi roll her eyes) named Vera came up with a solution. She made a questionnaire for potential mates consisting of 15 questions that fit her high standards. 5,000 decided to try to win her heart and she would eventually whittle it down to three. Below are a sampling of the questions:- What is your astrological sign?- How many exes do you have?- How many of your crazy ex's do you talk to?- Do you want kids?- Use three adjectives to describe yourself and is one of them douche?- How is your relationship with your parents?- Do you have a booty call on tap?- Is it acceptable to hit on her friends?- If you were to live together, would she get the walk in closet?As I said, she ended up picking 3 and surprise surprise, none of them were a good match for her. She's just too picky and no guy will ever be perfect for her. She also said she would not try this experiment again. While they are a good gauge of things, they don't offer enough information or deter from otherwise good matches. Angi even said she might miss Mr. Right by being so restrictive and Marris added that being 37, he wants to see if it works or not fast. Like general questions can weed out convicted felons but if you're looking to eliminate over eye color, baseball team fandom and other nonsense, you're asking for trouble. Angi capped this with saying 20 year old Angi would never have imagined marrying a bald guy and if she had weeded Jay the Straight out over that, she'd probably still be alone. Marris thinks that Vera just wants to be single and there is a way to explore what you want and need better.

Shoot us a Text.Happy Hump Day as we're halfway through the week! Today we're covering a BYD hybrid that can drive from NYC to Miami on a single charge/tank, how Toyota and other OEMs are decarbonizing with ICE and why Gen Z is getting summer jobs.Show Notes with links:BYD has introduced a groundbreaking hybrid powertrain capable of exceeding 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) on a single charge and full tank, marking a significant advancement in hybrid technology.The new hybrid powertrain was unveiled during a live-streamed event from China.BYD's dual-mode plug-in electric hybrids can now travel distances comparable to New York to Miami or Munich to Madrid without needing to recharge or refuel.This development highlights BYD's progress over five generations of hybrids since 2008.BYD sold three million cars last year and delivered nearly one million cars by March this year. For every two hybrids sold in China, one is a BYD. Toyota Motor has unveiled next-generation engines designed for various car types, including hybrids and biofuel vehicles. This move targets stricter emissions standards and reflects Toyota's diversified approach beyond just EVs.Toyota, Subaru, and Mazda displayed new 1.5L and 2.0L engines that are more compact, reducing volume and height compared to current models.The new engines aim to integrate with electric components for decarbonizing internal combustion engines, making the new engines compatible with alternative fuels like e-fuels and biofuels."With these engines, each of the three companies will aim to optimize integration with motors, batteries, and other electric drive units," the companies stated.Gen Z is reversing the decline in teen employment, bringing back a key rite of passage for adolescents.Teen labor force participation, once nearly 2 in 3 in the 1980s, has recently hit a 14-year high at 38%.Rising wages, inflation-driven necessity, and high demand in retail and restaurant jobs are driving this trend.In the coming weeks, employers are expected to add another 1.3 million summer jobs for teens, according to the firm Challenger, Gray & ChristmasPsychologist and author Jean Twenge highlights how teen jobs teach crucial life skills, saying “There is something lost when there are more young people who enter the workforce after college with no work experience… When they learn those lessons about how important it is to show up on time and do a good job and sometimes you have to listen to the boss, all of it builds conscientiousness for later in life.”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

An annual tradition for many students and teachers is looking for summer employment. During the 1940s, these jobs were becoming easier to find, with a recovering American economy and the war overseas. Jane Martin, former missionary in East Africa, lists a few of the summer jobs that she held in the 1940s to pay her way through Mars Hill College in North Carolina: "I worked for the government at the Department of Interior, and I worked for the Department of Navy." Interviewer: "In Washington, DC, those things are possible." "You know, but you don't say that I—you were sorting mail and things like that. (both laugh) You weren't—yes. I worked one summer for a community program for underprivileged children. I worked for a department store, but I wasn't working in the store; I was in the warehouse. And to my amazement, they came to me one day, and I thought, Oh my, have I done something wrong? They said, Come with us. We want to talk to you about something. And they put me on the loading dock, as a fourteen-year-old, to receive the trucks as they came in. Their concern was—I had a—I was sitting in a little enclosed room. Their concern was that the language would be pretty bad. But when the truckers arrived bringing in the goods for the department store, they see this young teenager, (both laugh) and they—they minded their language." Dr. Eugene Jud, former executive director of Caritas in Waco, remembers an encounter he had while teaching in Corpus Christi: "At the end of that year, we had a big PTA meeting on the end of the year. A man came up, was a big old guy; name was George Bellows. He said he just wanted to meet the teacher that helped his son become a public speaker. I accepted his comments, and that was fine." Jud describes how that meeting helped him in the summer of 1941, when he was looking for a temporary job: "Teachers always do a little moonlighting. So I went out to the naval air station. Just everybody would be going out there from all over the country; they—they were applying. So we'd go to the personnel department, and I sat there a long time waiting for my turn. And one of the guys who came in, I said, ‘Who are you waiting for?' And he said, ‘I come—I'm waiting to see George Bellows.' And I said, ‘Who's he?' He said, (laughs) ‘Oh, he's the guy [who] runs this place.' I said, ‘Is he George Bellow Jr.'s dad?' He said, ‘Yeah—that's'—and said, ‘I'm George's good friend.' So I—that gave me an idea. So instead of going and seeing a personnel man or filling out all the forms, well, I went in to see George Bellows. (laughter) "I introduced—he remembered me. And he asked what I wanted, and I told him I wanted a summer job. And he just said—he buzzed his little buzzer and called for his personnel director. And he says, ‘Put this man on.' (laughter) The personnel director was very smart. He asked me a question or two, and he said, 'I'll tell you what: you report here tomorrow, and you report in my department. You'll be one of the personnel.' So I became one of the members of the personnel staff." As long as a college education is not free and educators are underpaid, many students and teachers will continue to seek out temporary jobs during the summer months. Sorting mail in the 1940s.
