00:00 So we talked about the state, the overall state of the job market.
00:03 What about the state of the job market for these new entrants?
00:07 So the thing I think is really important for, we just released our new career starters guide and
00:13 we're seeing that the competition is really really fierce for work right now. Not only are
00:19 people who are looking for entry-level jobs,
00:21 you know, the new grads are out there, but about a third of Gen Z said that they're actually thinking about changing jobs.
00:27 So they're gonna also be competing against those Gen Zers who are thinking about job hopping. But there's good news.
00:34 There's a ton of work out there still. We're looking at industries like
00:38 warehousing, we're looking at industries like transportation, we're looking at industries like
00:43 healthcare that are actually really really hiring right now. In fact, we're seeing that in
00:50 education and in healthcare, they're having these major staffing issues.
00:54 So they're offering incentives for folks in those industries and they're really staffing up for that. So there's really good news.
01:00 There's also really good news in fact that
01:02 yeah, we're seeing some declines in some of the roles in industries for like financial services or tech,
01:09 but even in the midst of those certain jobs, we're seeing a big boom. Like there's, for instance in financial services,
01:16 there's
01:17 the analysts for investment banking.
01:21 We're seeing those numbers for people like trying to get hired for hiring an analyst for investment bankers through the roof.
01:28 Largely because all of the changes in the economy, but there's certain jobs
01:32 that are gonna be really in high demand. Take a look at our
01:35 Career Starters Guide and some of those most in-demand skills and begin to sort of match them up.
01:41 And there's a lot of opportunities for our career starters.
