They should just do the same as Hungary: only count the "jobseekers", and disregard people from that list if they can't secure a job for too long. (Did happen to me in Hungary, except I was registered as a participant of the government humiliating "public employment" program, except I neither got the 8 hour job, nor the half the minimum wage.)
Sounds like the youth in Australia should start private unemployment offices…
Jokes aside, it’s sort of amazing how fucked Gen Z is across the globe in every aspect of their lives if they don’t have generational wealth to live off of.
Employment, housing, climate, it’s affecting Gen Z in almost every “developed” country irrespective of their political structure or beliefs. Millennials already had it bad compared to previous generations, but Gen Z has it 100x worse.
That’s literally how the US does it. If you include all the people who gave up and left the workforce, as well as all the unhoused people who are also purposefully excluded from unemployment rolls, suddenly we don’t have the “record low unemployment” they keep claiming we have.
