No it fucking isn't. Entry level jobs are disappearing because young morons aren't showing up to work. I worked in a grocery store WITHOUT self checkouts and of the 21 people we had scheduled to show up, only 3 actually showed up. If parents would get off their asses and parent for a moment, those jobs would still be there. We had to install self checkouts to deal with the excess bloat that came with teenagers not showing up to work.

I know that isn't the case everywhere, but that's the case in the majority of the retail stores I've worked at.

But there's a reason to that. Younger people I know are making money(most peanut level incomes being perfectly honest) through streaming, TikTok, and gig work. The important part is they can support themselves with flexible schedules. If people don't show up to work(granted there are just tremendously lazy people too) it means there isn't an incentive to do so. Companies refuse to adapt to an evolving job market, and just cut whatever won't work on the same old way.
