[Post 869] 30 And Jobless: Why's Unemployment Rising For Those In Their 30s? | Talking Point | Forum

Summary

We often hear about unemployment woes of fresh grads…even older olders in their 50s… but what about those who are in the prime of their life? Those aged 30 to 39 saw unemployment rates increase for the second consecutive quarter from 2.4% in December 2024 to 2.6% in March 2025. Re-entry rates into the job market for this age group saw a 23 percent fall from its peak in 2022. How concerned should those in their thirties be and what impact do tech layoffs and AI have in it? Talking Point finds out through a panel discussion how this group of people can make themselves more employable than redundant.
