Categories: East Asia, Japan, Breaking News, Labor, Protest, Youth

Students who are obsessed with job hunting [1] [en] and cannot find a job, young workers who had to give up on the job of their dreams because their hunt wasn't successful, graduate students who had to enroll in a master's to have a chance to be hired by companies who only accept ‘recent college grad'… they are all ready [2] [ja] to get together and protest tomorrow [3] [ja] (November 23) in Tokyo, Sapporo, Matsuyama and Osaka.
The protests will also be broadcast live on Ustream [4] (at 1 p.m. Japan time).
