Underpass Artists

Two young men decorate the underpass on the Line in Blackrock this evening with spray paint. There are fabulous murals on both walls of the underpass!

Fun fact: spray paint, the tool of choice here, was invented in 1949 by Edward Seymour, on the suggestion of his wife, Bonnie.

Smoking and drinking rates are at historic lows, with more young people prioritizing wellness and fitness.

Where do they connect? Often, it's at the gym, seeking community.

Interestingly, Gen Z is recognized as the least criminally active generation in modern history.

Their focus has shifted away from crime, even amidst digital challenges that foster isolation.

This generation is also the most educated, with many opting for trades over traditional college paths as they see stagnating returns.

They may reshape the job landscape as AI starts to influence employment opportunities.

#Education #JobMarket #FutureOfWork

Women aged 25-34 in Gen Z and millennials are now earning 95 cents to every dollar men earn.

This progress marks them as the most equitably compensated cohort in American history, as they seek jobs with balance.

#GenderEquality #EqualPay

Middle and high schoolers are reporting greater engagement in school and feeling more prepared for their futures, possibly indicating a positive shift post-pandemic.

Black Gen Z-ers, in particular, are expressing much confidence about what lies ahead.
