 ABOUT THE EVENT
B-Side head of content Emily Schario sits down with Trendlines writer Larry Edelman for a conversation about rising unemployment and today’s challenges finding your first job — or a better one. Larry brings decades of experience covering business and the economy, offering context on how employment cycles, technology trends, and policy changes impact workers. Emily brings insight into how millennials and Gen Z are experiencing these shifts in real time — from layoffs and career pivots to navigating financial uncertainty and redefining career stability. Together, they’ll answer your questions and unpack what unemployment looks like right now and what it means for people figuring out their next move.
