This work was carried out on the basis of a quantitative research method. For this work, the youths of Jeddah were the sample population. This work has used random sampling method.  The overall sample size was 384. Primary data are obtained from a survey carried out using a questionnaire.  Collected data was analyzed in terms of basic percentage statistics. Key findings of this work have shown that the primary cause of unemployment is the lack of availability of new jobs. In addition, job-seekers do not have enough interview opportunities to prove their value to prospective employers.  Likewise, it takes at least six months to one year of job hunting to land an appropriate job. As a solution, the respondents have stressed the importance of creating new employment opportunities to address this issue
