Remote work may be locking younger workers out of labor force: NY Fed

The New York Federal Reserve Bank's recent analysis suggests that the shift to remote work post-pandemic could be contributing to higher unemployment rates among younger, college-educated workers. With a 20 percent rise in the jobless rate for those under 29, the trend is alarming and indicates potential long-term impacts on the youth labor market. This matters because it underscores the need for new strategies to integrate younger workers into the workforce, especially as traditional in-person job opportunities diminish.
