Abstract

The related and relevant Literature Review and the Research methodology to expose the Research Findings will take the Author to Mhlanga (2014) of Newsday whose contribution on the topic in this Paper is on youths spending time crushing stones to make a living as the job market in Zimbabwe crashes. The second respondent to give his contribution on the stratospheric unemployment rate in Zimbabwe is Nleya (2014) of Newsday. His contribution is on the promised 2,265 million jobs to be created by ZANU PF once voted into power in the 31 July 2013 harmonized elections. To make yet another contribution on soaring unemployment in Zimbabwe is Mawire (2014) of Newsday who argued that more people were turning to real estate to earn a living as unemployment soared to unbearable stratospheric levels in Zimbabwe. And finally to give his contribution on the same topic was Kwinika (2014) of the same daily newspaper #x2018;The Newsday.#x2019; He talked about unemployment in Zimbabwe being a ticking time bomb. With the Research Findings analysed, presented and interpreted or discussed the Author proceeded to proffer a Summary, Conclusion and some Recommendations to wrap up the discourse in the Paper.
