A thousand job applications, five interviews and still no job

A 2025 survey of 4,656 UK residents aged 16 and older reveals that job satisfaction has reached its lowest point. Simultaneously, young people in Scotland are facing significant difficulties entering the workforce, with some reporting a thousand job applications and only five interviews without success. Official annual figures regarding Scottish youth not in education, employment, or training are expected soon, highlighting a challenging landscape for both current employees and those seeking new roles.
