Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reveals a significant link between the rise of remote work and increased unemployment rates among younger employees, particularly recent college graduates. The authors estimate that approximately 64% of the rise in unemployment for this demographic is due to the challenges posed by remote work environments, which inhibit effective training and mentorship. Between 2017-2019, the unemployment rate for individuals under 29 averaged 3.1%, but this figure rose to 3.7% from 2022-2025. Conversely, more experienced college graduates saw a slight decrease in unemployment from 1.9% to 1.8%. The study emphasizes that remote work reduces opportunities for immediate feedback and mentorship, which are crucial for the development of younger workers. Despite these findings, Stanford University's Nicholas Bloom contends that remote work does not negatively impact employment rates overall, suggesting that it may enhance labor supply by making work more accessible. This research highlights the complex dynamics of remote work and its varying effects on different age groups in the job market.
