Multiple articles confirm Gen Z graduates are encountering significant hiring challenges, with shrinking entry-level roles and a pivot towards gig work, directly supporting the prediction of an AI-intensified 'meat grinder' scenario. News also indicates a shift towards hiring for 'real skills' and rising AI fears among students, aligning with the demand for specialized human-centric abilities and altered college plans.
