Remote work linked to rising youth unemployment, Fed research suggests

New research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggests that the rise of remote and hybrid work arrangements is a significant factor contributing to higher unemployment rates among recent college graduates. The study indicates that while remote work may benefit experienced professionals, it hinders the development and hiring of younger workers who rely on in-person mentorship and feedback. This dynamic is particularly evident in "remotable" white-collar fields, where the unemployment gap between younger and older graduates has widened considerably since the pandemic. AI
