  1. Slash funding to postsecondary education, encouraging institutions to bring in international students
  2. Heavily market immigration opportunities to potential international students
  3. Act surprised when entry level jobs fill up

President Taco notwithstanding, it can’t have been that surprising.

This is important:

Extended unemployment periods carry consequences that reach far beyond economic hardship. Young people experiencing prolonged joblessness often face mental health challenges, delayed financial independence, and difficulty establishing career trajectories. These critically missed opportunities also have repercussions for their professional networks and workplace skills.

The issue is not that there are no jobs, it's that the jobs that are available aren't worth working because of the low pay, no benefits and no opportunity for advancement.

This is a direct result of the erosion of workers rights and neoliberal policy.
