At the age of 18 he dropped out of university to launch what would become America's most prominent conservative youth organisation, Turning Point USA (TPUSA).

Startup CEOs Are Divided - Inc (No paywall) Imagine you have a job candidate: They tick all of the boxes when it comes to the experience and skills youre looking for, but they have been unemployed for more than a year. Is that a deal breaker? Or would you consider hiring that person? Natalie Adams, co-founder of the Search Experience, which recruits sales and marketing talent for B2B SaaS startups, says that big of an employment gap would give her pause. It has to, she says.

According to LinkedIn data from 2024, 34 percent of job seekers say theyve been looking for at least a year, and 53 percent have been in the market for at least six months.Those numbers appear to be on the rise. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average length of unemployment in July 2025 was 24.1 weeks, representing a steady climb since the spring and a 17 percent increase over last July.
