The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help
Why would they? I mean the way people work are changing, and the reality is that if you let the employer dictate what you want to do, then you are not going to get any good results, they will not let you get anything else. But if enough workers decide to reject the offers, then employers will have nothing left to but accept how they want to work.

This is why older generation keeps calling the newer generation "lazy", I am sure that when people worked 7 days a week, and newer generation asked for 5, the older generation called them lazy too, but that's how you gain workers rights, you keep denying the employer what they want, and dictate what you want from them, and they are forced to accept eventually so their business doesn't go out of business.
