"World needs at least 600 million new jobs in the next decade for young people"

What are we going to do with all the bums?

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-13/if-you-re-young-the-job-outlook-is-grim-no-matter-where-you-live If You're Young, The Job Outlook Is Grim No Matter Where You Live
The World Bank has an unsettling message for young people around the globe: Whether you're male or female, live in Tunisia or the U.S., you will struggle to find a job.
Across regions and continents, people 15 to 29 years old are at least twice as likely as adults to be unemployed. The world will have to create 600 million jobs over the next 10 years, or 5 million a month, just to prevent the situation from getting worse, the Washington-based lender said in a report it released Tuesday with coalition partners such as the International Labor Organization.
The youngest workers have been hit hardest by the financial crisis and the global recession of the last decade because they often held the temporary jobs, which offer less protection. The youth unemployment rate is projected to be 13.1 percent in 2015, compared with 4.5 percent for adults, according to the ILO.
Global employers are looking not only for technical and academic skills, but also such qualities as being open, responsible or organized, according to the 155-page analysis titled "Toward Solutions for Youth Employment." Young workers are often either overqualified or underqualified for their jobs, it said.
"In emerging economies that are progressively more service-based, employers find a workforce population that lacks necessary skills," the report said. "Elsewhere, the problem is that many of the unemployed are highly educated but the market demands different competencies or more technical or vocational skills."
At stake is the well-being of the entire global economy. Without an income, millions of young people slump into poverty. By delaying their entry into the workforce or accepting low-paying jobs, many limit their lifetime earning potential. When young people don't work, governments don't get the tax revenue and businesses fail to gain customers.
"Social costs are ever mounting as well," the report said, citing youth-led uprisings in many Arab countries and the rise of economic insurgency and youth extremism. "What we see is a generation in economic crisis."
The report was released by a coalition called Solutions for Youth Employment, also includes the International Youth Foundation, children-development organization Plan International, public-policy researcher RAND Corp. and Youth Business International, a network helping young people start their own companies.

When I was 15- 16 years old, my teachers, parents and everybody else said to me " Kid, you're gonna be able to cherry pick whichever job you like because the boomers will retire and it will create insane demand. Companies will beg you to come work for them"....
So that didn't pan out...

except we need fewer people to support the population. Lower the population, and we'll still need fewer people working to keep that in order. We will eventually need a different economic system or a different way of breaking up the work

Sounds like you're suggesting mass genocide to solve the problem.

If you're young come to Silicon Valley in California. Pretty much every single business is short staffed and has help wanted signs in front. Constant job fairs.
It's not just high end technology jobs either, it's every thing you can imagine.
The job outlook looks fine where I'm at. So the title of OPs article is false.
Sucks if you live in Nebraska though.

Yeah, because Silicon Valley is the whole US.

there aren't enough 40 hr/week jobs because...i don't know...they aren't necessary? the notion that the entire populous needs to work 40/hrs a week to keep the world turning is so obsolete and fucked. especially now that machines do half the work for us. 
if people could make a living off 20 hr weeks there would be no such thing as a "job crisis" ever again.

There are plenty of 40 hour a week jobs left. Get a skill set that human beings can only do, not machines. Machines are not our competition on the workplace. Our competition is everyone else, so just be better and do better than the next person. Only way to make it anywhere.

I didn't say the whole US. The whole article did. I was pointing out that 'the job outlook is grim no matter where you live' was wrong.
You guys must have misinterpreted my post. I was trying to let any young folks on this site that may be having trouble finding work in their neck of the woods, that they could easily find a good job in pretty much every field out here.

yea, plenty of 40 hour a week jobs that pay like $11 an hour... everything else...
"requires 5 years of experience"
also there are plenty of people with "human skill sets" that are completely undervalued by society:
artists writers painters musicians
they make jack shit $$$....majority at least

Ah, I thought you were referring to the thread's title, not the title of the article. I didn't catch that, it was hidden under the link. Minor point to make, still.

Not much incentive to work 40 hours a week when it's just for a fuckin roof over your head, transportation and food etc. Back in the day we could homestead, now in Canada we can't even legally live out in the woods in a stick shelter, or they'll haul our asses back into the city if they find us.
