Podcasts about young workers

Is remote work making unemployment worse for the young and inexperienced job seekers? We'll break down a new report with Ted Rossman, a senior industry analyst at Bankrate.

Markets are being pulled between oil worries and tech strength as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, energy prices jump, and investors continue leaning heavily on the two sectors carrying the market this year: energy and technology.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down why oil prices are moving higher again, how the lack of progress with Iran keeps raising the risk of global energy problems, and why the S&P 500 is holding steady despite pressure from crude oil and Treasury yields. They also discuss why Gen Z may be better positioned in the job market than many feared, how Austin made housing more affordable by building more homes, why many Americans retire earlier than expected, and how rising insurance costs are reshaping decisions for homeowners.

One of the dangerous things about constantly talking about the challenges that our economy faces is losing the sense of urgency that it needs. With the new fiscal update under our belts, and plenty of uncertainty in the weeks and months ahead, host Amanda Lang checks in with one of Canada's top economists, Frances Donald, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at RBC.

Youth unemployment in Canada has risen to 14.3%, significantly higher than the overall national unemployment rate. This underscores a widening gap between education and access to early work experience. The Students Commission of Canada is calling for action from governments, schools and employers to expand entry-level opportunities for more people. Tamara Cherry speaks with Florence Bergeron, Incoming CEO of the Students Commission of Canada.

Why are so many young Canadians leaving and why are some people suggesting they should be punished for it?In this episode of The Missing Middle, Mike Moffatt and Sabrina Maddeaux break down the growing “brain drain” from Canada to the United States and the shocking proposal that young people who leave should pay a $500,000 exit fee.They dig into what's really driving this trend: unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, limited career opportunities, and policy decisions that increasingly favour older, wealthier generations.This isn't about loyalty. It's about survival and a country that may no longer offer young people a path to the life their parents had.

Younger workers typically feel more optimistic about the job market than older ones, but a new Gallup poll found that only 43% of Americans aged 15 to 34 thought that last year was a good time to find a job. That's compared to 64% of those above the age of 55. The optimism of young workers has dropped by 27 points since 2023, potentially signaling the influence of AI. Plus: a breakdown of the costs, both human and financial, of Nebraska's Medicaid eligibility rollout and a look into the impact of rising gas prices on inflation.

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses the health and safety resources available to young workers and their parents and features Pam Patry, northern region manager at WSPS.Pam highlights that young workers don't know what they don't know, so if they're not trained or taught about hazards in their workplace, they won't know what to look out for or how to recognize a hazard. Young workers often receive generic training such as WHMIS but may not be educated on specific hazards they could face in their roles. There's a pressing need for site-specific training so that young workers can be better equipped to handle hazards. Workplace training should clearly explain what the job involves, the hazards that may be present, and how to manage or remove them. Training should also be easy to understand to help young workers quickly grasp the essential information they need.Pam emphasizes that young workers should be reminded of their three rights—right to know about hazards, right to participate in safety procedures, and right to refuse unsafe work. Parents should support their children in asserting those rights and be proactive in understanding their child's work environment, including what their tasks are and how much safety training they've received. Their tasks may appear simple, but they could pose risks if not done correctly.

At the Grammys, Pharrell Williams urged audiences to "never stop grinding," echoing a familiar culture of constant ambition. But writer and broadcaster Amil Niazi challenges that mindset in "Life After Ambition: A Good Enough Memoir," as a new generation of workers questions whether success has to mean nonstop hustle. Then, Tricia Williams of TMU's Future Skills Centre, explores how younger workers are redefining fulfillment, balance, and what it really means to get ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses young workers' experiences with health and safety training and features guest speakers Ashley and Will, who share their experiences from different sectors.Ashley and Will discuss the challenges young workers face when it comes to health and safety awareness and training. Ashley, who works in healthcare and previously in a grocery store, mentions that her grocery store job provided only minimal training during orientation, mainly through video content that wasn't engaging. However, her healthcare job involves ongoing learning, helping her stay informed about safety practices. Will, who works in the service sector, didn't receive any formal safety training at his job; however, he learned some safety tips from family and other sources.When asked about overall safety at their jobs, Will feels his safety is prioritized, while Ashley, who received little attention when she got injured at her grocery store job, says her current workplace supports and encourages open discussions on safety. They both discuss more topics such as safety procedures, incident reporting, and PPE, and both express the need for improved and more interactive safety training processes to better prepare young workers for real workplace hazards.

February 26, 2026: Engineers are facing a productivity panic as coding agents accelerate output — and pressure — at the same time. Nvidia just posted a staggering quarter, underscoring how fast the infrastructure buildout is moving compared to the human transition. Reuters reports nearly one million young people in the UK are now "NEET" (not in employment, education, or training), a flashing warning light for the entry-level pipeline. Burger King is rolling out an AI assistant that listens in, coaches, and scores worker performance in real time. And Rolex's ultra-competitive trade school is producing graduates positioned for $95,000 jobs — a counter-narrative to the idea that all opportunity lives in knowledge work.

Two major labor stories from the nation's capital dominate today's episode. First, Dr. Kendrick Roberson, National Vice President of AFGE, joins the show to preview the historic Young Worker March on Washington scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 7. Roberson details why workers under 40 are mobilizing near the U.S. Capitol to demand a living wage and relief from the affordability crisis in housing and education. He also discusses the "representation gap"—why 77% of young workers support unions but only 7% are members—and plans to honor AFGE member Alex Pretti during the event. Then, Ryan Marshall, organizer for Ironworkers Local 5, steps in to debunk the "skilled labor shortage" myth. He argues the construction industry isn't facing a worker shortage, but a shortage of good jobs. Marshall highlights the massive data center boom in Northern Virginia, the $48 million cost of worker misclassification in D.C., and why Local 5 is treating mental health and suicide prevention as critical jobsite safety issues. Featured Guests: Dr. Kendrick Roberson, National VP, AFGE Ryan Marshall, Organizer, Ironworkers Local 5 Hosted by: Ed "Flash" Ferenc  

On this edition of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we tackle two critical fronts of the labor movement in 2026: the life-and-death stakes of public healthcare staffing in California and a high-level analysis of national economic and political instability. Segment 1: Solano County's Mental Health "Emergency" Solano County's behavioral health workforce isn't warning of a future risk—they are describing a present-tense catastrophe. Sarah Soroken, a licensed marriage and family therapist and SEIU Local 1021 member, joins the podcast to discuss why 2,000 county workers recently walked out on a two-day strike. The Vacancy Gap: With 200 open positions in Health and Social Services, remaining staff are facing "moral injury" and burnout while patients face dangerous waitlists. The Human Cost: Why union-driven staffing demands are a public health issue in a county that ranks 15th out of 58 in California suicide rates. Budgetary Myths: A look at union "deep dives" into county finances that challenge claims of a financial crisis. Segment 2: Union Rights at a Breaking Point Retired International President of the Machinists Union (IAMAW), Tom Buffenbarger, provides a sobering diagnosis of a country he says has slipped into a 1960s-style crisis—only worse. The Investigation Gap: Buffenbarger explains why he trusts state leadership, such as Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, over federal investigators following recent tragedies in Minneapolis. The Tariff Price Tag: How trade brinkmanship with Canada is hitting the grocery store (milk, eggs, cereal) and industrial supply chains of working families in the U.S. Organizing the Future: Why the Young Workers March on Washington (Feb. 7) represents a "bright spot" for a generation looking for stability through union rights.

Jeff lays out his hiring philosophy: ambition beyond natural gifts, complementary skills, people better than him in key areas—and why he trusts his instincts on fit.06:25 – Real Leadership: Hiring People Better Than YouThey dig into succession, “making yourself dispensable,” and the idea that if you can't take a vacation without everything falling apart, that's a failure of leadership, not a badge of honor.07:30 – Pre-Email Days & The Human Side of WorkJeff remembers the 286/386 era and talks about how, before digital tools, people invested more in each other in person—inside and outside of work—and how that shaped deeper relationships.08:43 – Remote Work, COVID, and an Isolated WorkforceThey go deep on the pandemic: the rapid shift home, the early productivity spike, inflation pressures, relocation, and the rise of isolation and mental health issues as remote work took hold.11:10 – Young Workers, Office Longing & Loyalty ShiftsAdam shares what he's seeing with candidates who actually want to be in-office to learn through osmosis. Jeff talks about building the next generation of leaders and how in-person time rebuilds fabric and loyalty.13:32 – Mental Health, Home Setups & Productivity RealityThey unpack the assumption that everyone has an ideal home workspace—calling out caregiving, cramped spaces, kids, and distractions—and how that's quietly driving some people back to the office.14:51 – Why Jeff Bet on Aptia & the Move to BostonJeff explains what drew him to Aptia: the chance to build something differentiated and lasting, formalize his cross-border life, and finally live and work in the same country as his family.17:42 – The Big Vision: Building the Best Benefits Company in AmericaJeff outlines his ambition to build the best (not necessarily biggest) benefits services and administration company—one loved by clients, employees, and partners while supporting the communities they serve.19:04 – Benefits as a Talent Magnet: Total Rewards, Not Just SalaryThey talk about smart candidates, how benefits (health, financial, time off, ancillary) close offers, and why companies need to position total rewards early and clearly in the hiring process.21:13 – Closing the Benefits Understanding GapJeff shares the reality: most employees don't fully understand or appreciate their benefits. He talks about accessibility, education, and surfacing value in ways employees actually grasp.22:33 – Introducing Aptia One: Seamless, AI-Led Benefits ExperienceJeff breaks down Aptia One—how it's designed to create simple, AI-led, consumer-grade experiences for employees, employers, and partners across phone, web, and natural language interfaces.25:14 – How Jeff Is Personally Upskilling in AIJeff shares his approach to AI as a leader: consuming everything he can, learning from experts, applying lessons from previous waves of tech disruption, and staying hyper-relevant to where markets are heading.26:54 – Realistic AI: Simplicity, Accuracy & Avoiding AI-WashingThey discuss using AI to simplify journeys, NOT over-hyping capabilities, and why, in a business where you must be nearly 100% accurate on benefits, you must apply AI carefully and responsibly.28:43 – The Hard Truth About TransformationJeff calls out a big misconception: leaders assume everyone's excited about transformation. He explains why frontline employees often aren't enlisted as deeply as leaders think and why change enablement is under-invested.30:18 – Service, Soul & Corporate PhilanthropyThe conversation shifts to service: Jeff's history with DEI, United Way, and community work, and why doing something for others makes him feel more complete as a human and leader.31:25 – Why People Want Companies With a SoulJeff explains how corporate philanthropy, whether via one flagship cause or hyper-local initiatives, shapes belonging, engagement, and the desire to work for companies that care about more than profit.33:55 – Jeff's Son's Cancer Journey & Life Perspective ShiftsJeff shares the powerful story of his son Kevin's osteosarcoma diagnosis at 13, the grueling treatment, and how that battle reshaped his view on perseverance, priorities, and what really matters.36:26 – Adam's Own Cancer Battle & Shared PerspectiveAdam opens up about his recent Hodgkin's lymphoma remission, the physical and emotional toll, and how surviving cancer reframes life, work, and gratitude for both of them.40:04 – What Keeps Jeff Up at Night: Stewardship & FamilyJeff talks about being a “work in progress,” how life is now about his kids, his wife, and his responsibilities, and the ongoing chase to be a good steward for his family, business, and community.41:48 – Optimism About Humanity & The Future of BenefitsJeff shares a global perspective: wherever he goes, people want similar things for their families and communities. He then lays out the “big three” of benefits—health, wealth, and time off—as core holdings.43:26 – Designing Benefits Like a PortfolioThey dig into tailoring benefits to your population (e.g., menopause benefits, pet insurance, nonprofit-oriented perks), feeding what works, starving what doesn't, and iterating to truly serve your people.44:37 – Redefining Success: Energy for the Journey AheadIn closing, Jeff defines success not by titles or money, but by whether you still wake up excited for what's ahead—at work, at home, on the golf course, and in life overall.46:08 – Wrap-Up & Where to Find Jeff and AptiaAdam closes the episode, sharing where listeners can learn more about Aptia, connect with Jeff on LinkedIn, and reminding everyone to review, subscribe, and keep being good to themselves and better to others.

How can more young people gain job-ready skills without going straight to college? The U.S. Department of Labor has announced $98 million in new funding to expand pre-apprenticeships and workforce training programs that help young people prepare for in-demand careers. The initiative aims to connect education more directly to employment opportunities across multiple industries. (Source: U.S. Department of Labor)

Welcome to another episode of Gen Z in Manufacturing, a podcast where I talk to young people about their journeys in manufacturing, how they intend to influence the industry and what they are looking for from an employer.For this episode, I welcome Gabe Schulze, a 25-year-old industrial engineer at Path Machining + Automation.Schulze holds a bachelor's and master's in industrial engineering and has worked for Path Machining for just over one year. At the company, Schulze leads initiatives to optimize CNC machining operations, implement standardized processes and improve unattended shift performance.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 12, 2025. 0:30 We dig into new FBI data showing that California led the nation in active shooter incidents from 2020 to 2024 — 25 incidents, more than any other state — and the irony is impossible to ignore. This is the same state with the most aggressive gun control regime in the country: assault weapon bans, magazine limits, waiting periods, registration, red flag laws, ammo restrictions, carry permit mandates — layers upon layers of regulation. If gun control worked the way it’s sold emotionally and rhetorically, California should be the safest state in America. It’s not. That’s the core question they keep coming back to: why doesn’t gun control work where it exists the most? The answer is uncomfortable for the left. Laws don’t stop criminals. They only restrict law-abiding citizens. Shooters don’t follow magazine limits, don’t wait ten days, don’t register firearms, and don’t ask permission. California’s system controls one group of people — responsible citizens — while leaving violent criminals untouched. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US trade deficit dropped to the lowest level in five years.That's according to data released by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis. Half of the commercial drivers licenses issued in the state of New York to foreign workers were issued illegally. The Leader of Black Lives Matter in Oklahoma has been arrested for embezzling $3.15 million. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We step back from politics and wrestle with one of the oldest and hardest questions there is: why God allows suffering. We reflect on how some tragedies are so overwhelming, so senseless, that the only human response is to ask “why.” And they point to the assassination of Charlie Kirk as one of those moments — a young man devoted to ideas, speech, and persuasion, taken suddenly, leaving behind a family and a nation trying to make sense of it. 15:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a listener question that hits a nerve for a lot of people: what do you do when you’re in your late 50s, you know you still have something to offer — but you don’t feel a clear passion anymore? The Mamas talk about how passion isn’t always something you “figure out” in advance. Sometimes it finds you. Sometimes it only makes sense in hindsight. They reflect on how certain seasons — raising children, leading nonprofits, stepping into unexpected roles — demand everything you have, and when they end, it can feel disorienting. But that doesn’t mean you’re empty. It means you’re available. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 After revisiting the debate over gun laws and crime, we dig into a case out of Atlanta where a homeowner shot two juveniles allegedly stealing packages off his porch. While no one defends theft, the discussion makes a clear distinction between protecting property and using deadly force. Gun rights come with limits, and firing at someone who is fleeing raises serious legal and moral questions. Exercising a right irresponsibly only undermines the right itself. 26:30 We move on to Maryland, where lawmakers are considering a $25-an-hour minimum wage — a move activists are calling “survival,” not radical. But survival for whom? We break down what a $25 minimum wage actually means for employers, especially small businesses, and why economists warn it could lock people out of the workforce entirely. When the first rung on the ladder costs $52,000 a year, employers stop taking chances — and the people shut out first are young workers with no experience. California is a real-time case study: higher mandated wages, fewer jobs, more automation, and young people locked out of entry-level work altogether. The conclusion is blunt — every time government raises the minimum wage, someone becomes unemployable by law. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 President Trump signed legislation this week honoring the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team — and on the surface, it’s exactly what you’d expect: a celebration of grit, teamwork, patriotism, and one of the greatest upsets in sports history. But this is also vintage Trump. Because this isn’t just about hockey — it’s about symbolism. Forty-five years later, Trump is reminding the world, and especially Moscow, of what happened at Lake Placid. At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union rolled out a fully funded, state-run, professional team designed to showcase the superiority of communism. And they lost — on live television — to a bunch of American college kids playing for pride. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From death threats against Marjorie Taylor Greene and suspected terrorists, to tech company taxes, Nigerian prince scams, and even criminals "too handsome" to stand trial, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We reacted to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signing legislation legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill patients, making Illinois the 12th state to do so. While supporters frame it as “compassion,” this argument has already played out elsewhere — most notably in Canada — and the results are chilling. 41:30 And we end today's show with some words of wisdom about work.

What are the hottest sectors based on wage growth for young workers as we head into 2026? Healthcare jobs are the most in demand roles with rising pay for young workers. Glassdoor lead researcher Chris Martin, told CNBC make it another hot sector. Private education jobs. Overall healthcare, along with those private education jobs have propped up the economy for some time. They make up about 17% of the jobs nationally, but accounted for 56% of job growth between July, 2023. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hybrid work is evolving into a strategic approach for organizations, rather than disappearing. Recent data indicates that 43% of small and mid-sized businesses offered hybrid work options in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting a slight decrease but still underscoring its significance in the modern workplace. Companies are focusing on enhancing their culture, improving physical environments, and developing better management practices. However, major tech companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google are pushing for a return to in-office work, which may risk losing top talent as employees increasingly prefer remote work for better work-life balance.The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workforce is becoming more pronounced, particularly for young workers in roles exposed to AI, such as software development and customer service. A study from Stanford University revealed a 13% decline in employment for young individuals aged 22 to 25 in these sectors since the introduction of AI tools like ChatGPT. This trend highlights the need for educational institutions to adapt their curricula to prepare students for an evolving job market influenced by AI technologies. Meanwhile, small business owners are facing challenges with unfilled job openings, indicating a mismatch between available roles and qualified candidates.Organizations are finding ways to empower non-technical employees to embrace AI, as demonstrated by Super.com, which trained its staff to build their own tools, resulting in significant revenue growth. This approach emphasizes the importance of creating accessible tools and fostering a culture of innovation. As AI usage among employees rises, disparities in access to technology and training persist, particularly between executives and non-managers. Companies that provide inclusive AI training are likely to lead in productivity and innovation, making it essential for IT providers to help clients optimize their workflows and prepare their teams for AI integration.The discussion around AI suggests that we may not be in a bubble, as evidence shows early adopters are experiencing substantial performance improvements. Unlike the dot-com boom, current AI investments are driven by profitable companies integrating technology into their operations. The evolving role of AI is also elevating the value of support jobs, as organizations require skilled professionals to navigate complex customer needs. As AI systems become more prevalent, the demand for human skills such as empathy and communication remains crucial, indicating that the future of work may focus on enhancing human impact rather than replacing it.Three things to know today00:00 Hybrid Work Isn't Over—It's Optimizing for the Long Haul05:32 AI Training Pays Off: Super.com Hits $200M Revenue with Citizen Developers09:48 AI Boom or Business Shift?

In this episode of The Missing Middle, Sabrina Maddeaux and Mike Moffatt break down the massive wave of federal public service job cuts and how they're slamming young Canadians the hardest. From thousands of lost student and contract jobs to long-term impacts on housing, wages, and health, they reveal how a shrinking government workforce could shut an entire generation out of shaping Canada's future. They also dive into what this means for unions, the economy, and why real public service reform must include young voices.

A third of young workers in Australia are being paid less than $15 an hour - that's almost ten dollars below the minimum hourly wage. It's one of the key findings of a Melbourne University report showing 15 to 30 year olds are experiencing widespread breaches of labour laws. And those from non-English speaking backgrounds were shown to be the worst treated in the workplace.

A newly published survey has revealed a concerning trend of widespread underpayment among young workers in Australia. Nearly one in three respondents—about 33 per cent—reported earning $15 an hour or less. The findings come from the final report of the Fair Day's Work Project, titled 'Underpaid and Overlooked: The Wage Crisis Facing Young Workers in Australia', which surveyed 2,814 workers under the age of 30. In this podcast, we discuss its key findings and recommendations.

In the wake of another security incident at Northland we look at what employers should be doing to better equip young workers to deal with incidents and how to best support them in the aftermath.Also in this edition, we explore what the scrapping of the ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood means for the LGBTQIA community, how pet telehealth could take the pressure off vets working in rural communities and the face of modern day match making.

As a leader, how can you tackle disengagement on your team? Employee engagement is in crisis, and it's costing more than just morale. According to Gallup, only 31% of the American workforce is engaged at work, while a staggering 17% are actively disengaged—cynical, vocal, and dragging others down with them. This outlook takes a toll on worker mental health, and it's also a full-blown productivity problem with real financial consequences.In this episode, I unpack the findings of Gallup's Q12 engagement survey and look at how leaders and managers can use it as a blueprint for creating meaningful, motivating work environments. From setting clear expectations to building genuine connections and offering real opportunities for growth, we explore the practical ways to shift your team's momentum.Take a deeper look at what the numbers say about leading your most impactful team:What the generational divide in employee engagement might reveal;Why it's not as simple as blaming remote work for all the problems;How expectations create the foundation for a more engaged workforce.Related Links:Episode 265, How to Set Clear Expectations As a Leader - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode265Episode 376, How to Make Performance Reviews More Effective as a Manager - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode376Episode 483, Can You Be Friends At Work? - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode483Gallup, U.S. Employee Engagement Sinks to 10-Year Low - https://www.gallup.com/workplace/654911/employee-engagement-sinks-year-low.aspxGallup 2025 State of the Global Workplace Report - https://www.gallup.com/workplace/349484/state-of-the-global-workplace.aspxGallup, The Q12 Employee Engagement Survey - https://www.gallup.com/q12-employee-engagement-survey/LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/
