The coronavirus pandemic has put Gen Z in a precarious position.

The generation, the oldest of whom turn 24 in 2020, may graduate into a recession worse than the 2008 financial crisis - one that could lead to earlier deaths and higher rates of illnesses.

Students graduating in 2020 have had in-person graduations - and jobs and internships - cancelled. And Gen Zers in the workforce are already bearing the brunt of coronavirus layoffs.

Such an unprecedented event as the coronavirus pandemic will likely have an unprecedented impact on America's youth. We need your help in identifying what that fallout will look out for Gen Z - and how Gen Z life has already changed since the pandemic began.
