A Federal Reserve Bank of New York study finds that the rise of remote work since the pandemic has contributed significantly to higher unemployment rates among young college graduates. The study shows that businesses are more hesitant to hire and train inexperienced workers remotely, leading to a roughly 1 percentage point increase in unemployment for those under 29 in remote-capable jobs. In contrast, older workers in these roles saw slight declines in unemployment, while non-remote jobs showed little age-based disparity. The study attributes nearly two-thirds of the youth unemployment rise to remote work challenges rather than AI impacts.
