For Quartz, I'm working on a story about the tough market for entry-level white-collar workers. Many people under 30, especially recent graduates, are piecing together retail, restaurant, and gig jobs (babysitting, Uber, etc) because they can’t land FT roles in their fields. Hoping to speak with: Recent grads or young workers now juggling multiple jobs, especially gig or part-time roles, who can describe what their day-to-day looks like, why they’re doing it, and how it affects their finances, career goals, and mental health. (U.S.-based; anonymity possible.) Economists, academics, or labor experts who can contextualize the numbers: what’s driving this shift, and what it signals about wages, inflation, and entry-level opportunities. Employers or managers noticing more young staff moonlighting/side-hustling, and how that’s affecting scheduling, retention, or productivity. Thanks!
