Intentionally triggering headlines like this contribute to the erosion of trust in media - the article even recognises its own provocation in the second paragraph. The reality is Gen Z are entering a job market of where the compensation is inadequate for the essentials of living - rent, fuel, food, medical insurance.

It also does not factor in debt from college, which many Gen Z-ers carry into the working world and never find release from. 'College for everyone' has burdened two generations with the prospect of indentured service to whichever employer eventually ends up hiring them.

The fact that they are dropping out, giving up, returning back to family home - are all matters which we should be collectively concerned about. Divisive headlines like this does not help
