Coronavirus is impacting Gen Z’s rites of passage and job searches. As the class of 2020 graduates, students are finding that the COVID-19 crisis is impacting their future. Many are missing out on end-of-the-year events like graduation ceremonies and proms, while companies are postponing job interviews and cancelling internships—fueling sadness around missing out on memorable experiences and anxiety about the uncertainty of their future. YPulse’s exclusive Coronavirus data found that 93% of 13-39-year-olds have been affected by CO-VID 19, and 74% of middle and high school students have stopped going to school. (NYTimes, NBC News, CNN)
