The good news

• Only 3% were not working, studying, doing unpaid work, volunteering or looking for work in 2022, compared to 5% in 2021.

COVID’s impact

• As Kim* explained:
  You pretty much have assignments back-to-back, and you’ve got placement as well […].
• So you’ve got to think, ‘can I go that long without working for an income?’
  You pretty much have assignments back-to-back, and you’ve got placement as well […].
• And, you know with COVID […] I couldn’t actually get my hours […] And I moved on […] it’s not really a goal anymore.

Precarious work

• The study also shows young people from disadvantaged backgrounds working in precarious part-time, low-level jobs (if they can find work at all).
• Peter also spoke of the difficulty of finding work:
  I was putting like 20 resumes in a month.
• No one answered me […] Of those in work, 14% were working two or more jobs, 37% wanted to work more hours, and 34% had looked for a new job in the past four weeks.
• While there is high demand for retail work, the emphasis is on skilled occupations.
