Is Gen Z Unemployable? Suzy Welch Drops A Bombshell
Podcast: The Smerconish PodcastPublished On: Thu Oct 02 2025
Description: Michael sits down with Suzy Welch—NYU professor, journalist, and author of "Becoming You", to unpack her provocative Wall Street Journal essay that asked: Is Gen Z unemployable? Welch’s research found that only 2% of Gen Z shares the core values most prized by employers, like achievement and a strong work ethic. Instead, young workers are prioritizing self-care, authenticity, and purpose—sparking a growing clash between companies and new hires. Michael and Suzy dive deep into the data, the pushback from Gen Z, and what this generational disconnect means for the future of work, parenting, and American competitiveness.
