Millennials will face a constantly changing job market for which they are not prepared, due to increased global competition and the fact that the Millennial generation does not is prepared to compete with higher standards. Jeffrey Bosworth in his article “Chasing Hope in Modern America,” provides information about competition in the workforce not only among peers, but that “crosses national and cultural boundaries” and how the competition will be surrounded by “young, educated , motivated." people in every country” (334). Because there is so much competition in the workforce, the Millennial generation will need to be fully prepared in many skills and be the most effective candidate for the job. Donald S. Miller and Thomas E. Slocombe, authors of “Preparing Students for the New Reality,” discuss how job applicants must realize that it is not only difficult to get a job but also “to remain unemployed” (19). The Millennial generation will find itself facing economic problems combined with employment ones. The United States is trying to resolve the high unemployment rate of the past years, which results in the unemployment of a part of the Millennial generation or the lack of employment stability. Job requirements are increasing and it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure a stable job in America without being fully qualified to do so
