Joy Behar Sparks Debate After Telling Gen Z To 'Get A Job' During Heated 'View' Segment

During a segment about why Generation Z is 'afraid of turning 30,' Behar was met with pushback from some of her 'The View' cohosts for her blunt criticism of young adults.

The View co-host Joy Behar had some pointed advice for Gen Z—and it has not gone over well.

During a recent segment on the show about how many among Generation Z have expressed anxiety about turning 30, a milestone that has struck fear into the hearts of every generation that has ever existed, Behar had just three words of advice.


"Get a job," she pointedly told the generation, 47% of whom have three or more jobs. Unsurprisingly, her hot take hasn't been popular with younger people.

That Gen Z's anxieties are so controversial nowadays is bizarre, given the well-documented economic realities they, and the Millennials before them, have faced.

Bizarrely, it's been a particularly hot-button issue on The View, where moderator Whoopi Goldberg sparked a near scandal in November by saying Millennials and Gen Z will never own houses because they only want to work four hours a day.

As she did in November, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to defend Gen Z in the more recent conversation, saying:

"In defense of Gen Z, they’re not hitting the milestones the way every generation before them did."
"They’re owning homes at a lower rate. This is wild, 45 per cent of people between 18 to 29 still live with their parents... They feel left behind by the economy."

Behar's only response was to sniff:

"Oh please, get a job."

Farah Griffin pointed out what is obvious to nearly everyone in this country besides highly paid TV stars: that most Gen Z'ers "have to work multiple jobs" because "life is so unaffordable" nowadays.

Behar's hot take was:

"There’s a million job openings in this country!"

There's also wave after wave of layoffs, and most available jobs are in sectors like foodservice, education and healthcare—fields that do not pay living wages and require specialized skills in the case of the latter.

The bottom line? Behar and her ilk don't know what they're talking about, and if they took five minutes to Google the facts behind their bizarre vitriol toward young people, they would know that.

So to say that Behar's hot take on Gen Z didn't go over well on social media would be an understatement.







How strange that Boomers respond to all of the advantages they've had and the world they've created by pulling the ladder up behind them while sneering and mocking those left behind.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
