Unemployment among young workers has been a problem in Europe following the 2008-2009 international financial crisis. Yet early signs show it is getting worse today with the coronavirus pandemic. Dunia Skaunicova is one example of how the crisis has hurt young people. After Skaunicova completed her studies at Prague’s Metropolitan University, she quickly found a job at a company in the Czech capital. The 24-year-old speaks Czech, English and French. Months later, she lost her job when the pandemic hit. This time, she is having problems finding one. “I have been to five or six interviews in person during the last two months…there are so many people,” said Skaunicova.
