I would not say it is any one particular thing.

What I see is a lot of folks that missed out on obtaining discipline, morality, and problem solving skills. The three kinda intertwine, morals are about how what you do affects others, and making decisions based on that. It requires discipline and problem solving skills to make sound moral decisions and carry them out.

The lack of these three make for a large amount that can't be hired for many jobs that require them.

Another part is I notice a lot of folks(and not just young folks) begrudge their employer a profit. They look at what they do for the company(and often do not value expenses of the company enough), and offset this from what they get paid. Then they laze down to that level.

No profit, why hire? Negative balance because they don't value your costs enough? They can't work anywhere.

A young person that understands they are hired to make a profit for their employer, which is to some extent a moral standpoint where they look out for someone else's interest in addition to themselves.

There is certainly work to be done.

Some neighborhoods in a 100 mile radius, all the stores and places have good young folks working.

Others, I just avoid those stores or places, bad quality from everyone. Often it is the areas with recent expensive housing put in that have the worst employees.
