Kragha lamented the difficulty for young people to find meaningful employment.

"It's become harder for young people to find dignified work. Unemployment rate stands at 23.1% from 5% in 2010. On top of that, most jobs aren't filled transparently. So even before COVID. A young person had to hustle to find work," she stated.

She also disagreed with the word, "unemployable people."

"Unemployable people is probably my least favourite word. It assumes education is perfect, job creation is perfect etc but that's not true," the Jobberman boss explained.
