Most young adults in the labor market expect to find a job in a short period of time.
That’s according to research published by Adecco on International Youth Day (#YouthDay). Adecco surveyed 9,572 young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 what they expect from their future in the job market.
As many as 8 out of 10 respondents said they expect to have a job within a year of graduation. Of all respondents, Swiss were the most optimistic (89.66%), followed by Americans (84.38%). Out of 14 countries, the Netherlands (77.43%) finishes in tenth place . Hispanics were the most pessimistic about finding a job, at 57.84%.

Alain Dehaze, Adecco Group CEO: Youth employment is a shared responsibility. Public-private partnerships are essential for shaping education to calibrate talent profiles to labor market needs (www.flexnieuws.nl).
