# Jobless Graduates Infographics The Infograph ‘Gen Y Can’t I Get a Job?’ Asks Why By M | Published 2013-06-05 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jobless-graduates References: [blog.adeccousa](http://blog.adeccousa.com/gen-y-cant-i-get-a-job-infographic/) The ‘Gen Y Can’t I Get a Job’ infographic by the Adescco blog looks at why in America there are so many capable, yet jobless, graduates. According to [Adecco’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acea-and-adecco) survey, this year alone 1.5 million students will graduate looking to start full-time employment in their fields. Sadly, 65% of workplace directors don’t think university grads are ready for full-time employment. Adecco uses a blue, orange and green color schema, large bubbly fonts, educational facts and helpful images to alert jobless graduates with plenty of valuable tips to help them find and secure full-time employment in their field. With tips on what to do during an interview—prepping and maintaining eye contact—and what to avoid—showing off tattoos and dressing inappropriately—Adecco hopes the ‘Gen Y Can’t I Get a Job’ will help to greatly reduce the number of 53% of jobless graduates. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Jobless Graduates:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in career counseling and job placement services tailored specifically for recent graduates. - **Full-time Employment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in bridging the gap between university education and workplace expectations to better prepare graduates for full-time employment. - **Interview Preparation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing personalized interview preparation tools and resources for job seekers to improve their chances of securing full-time employment. ### Where This Applies - **Career Counseling:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in career counseling services to help jobless graduates navigate the job market and find suitable employment. - **Job Placement:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in job placement agencies that specialize in connecting recent graduates with entry-level positions in their fields. - **Professional Development:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in professional development programs and services aimed at equipping graduates with the necessary skills and knowledge for full-time employment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reassuring Job Search Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/job-market.md) - [Gen Z Job Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jobamax-app.md) - [Professional Community Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-3.md) - [Creative Text-to-Infographic Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infographic-tools.md) - [Career Decision Dashboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perspectives.md) - [Entry-Level Job Aggregators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junior-ok.md) - [Pizza Box Resumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reszames.md) - [Student Task Sharing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/task-sharing-platform.md) - [Gen Z-Focused Trades Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toolbelt-generation.md)
