Do you know anyone who doesn’t work?

I was thinking about the “millennials and gen-z won’t work” narrative, and it occurred to me, a millennial, that almost everyone I know has at least one job. I have two as do most of my friends. I can think of only two people who I know who do not have a job, and they both have degenerative, incurable diseases. I realise that this is anecdotal, but I have to conclude that most young people are gainfully employed.
