Zoomers Are Absolutely Destroyed, Official Unemployment Rate Stands At Almost 15%

The job market is in major trouble, and according to a recent report from CNN based on numbers released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the official unemployment rate is almost 15%.

With much of the American economy in self-imposed shutdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, April’s colossal surge in unemployment delivered a historic blow to workers.

The US economy lost 20.5 million jobs in April, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday — by far the most sudden and largest decline since the government began tracking the data in 1939.
Those losses follow steep cutbacks in March as well, when employers slashed 870,000 jobs. Those two months amount to layoffs so severe, they more than double the 8.7 million jobs lost during the financial crisis.
For many Americans who lost their jobs and their homes in the 2008 financial crisis, this moment reopens old wounds. It took years to rebound from those setbacks. When the economy eventually did crawl back, US employers added 22.8 million jobs over 10 years — a victory for all those who had weathered the Great Recession.
Now, the coronavirus pandemic stings not only because of the public health crisis it has inflicted — but also because it wiped out nearly that whole decade of job gains in just two months.

The unemployment rate soared to 14.7% in April, its highest level since the BLS started recording the monthly rate in 1948. The last time American joblessness was that severe was the Great Depression: The unemployment rate peaked at 24.9% in 1933, according to historical annual estimates from the BLS. (source)

This is very bad news for everybody, but the people who this is going to his this the worst are the people of Generation Z, or the Zoomers.

They are basically in the position of Millennials circa 2007 and 2008. They have no future. There are no jobs for them.

I know this position very well. It was where I found myself in 2007.

What I am saying is, is that the future is not going to be bright for a lot of people. Unlike before, the government’s money printing efforts are only going to yield declining returns. They are not going to make things better.

With the Boomers dying and the Millennials and Gen Z turning socialist, it is not unexpected that the younger generations may find themselves attracted to ever more radical political ideas in order to be presented as the “answer” to their troubles. This is happening right now with the rise of socialism among the youth.

Prepare for the future, since it is going to be very interesting.
