Unemployment and the Gig Economy: A Young Adult's Perspective In a recent video posted online, 23-year-old Brielle, living in the US, shared her struggles with unemployment and the lack of reliable transportation. Her parents are temporarily out of town, leaving her without access to a vehicle, which further complicates her job search. "I feel majorly guilty for not having a quote-unquote real job right now," she admits in the video. Brielle's situation highlights the difficulties faced by many young adults who are navigating the transition to independent living and the challenges of finding stable employment in today's competitive job market. While she uses social media to supplement her income, she questions the feasibility of making a living solely through online platforms. The video concludes with Brielle reflecting on her current circumstances, expressing both frustration and resilience.
