People are bragging about "lazy girl jobs" on TikTok. What are they?

A new workplace term is going viral on social media to describe jobs that allow young professionals to achieve the elusive goal of work-life balance: the "lazy girl job."
A number of Generation Z TikTok users are promoting this new approach to work, which bucks the trend of the United States' always-on, hustle culture that can lead to young people feeling they must be chained to their desks in order to succeed in their careers.
Members of Gen Z, the oldest of whom are now in their early- to mid-20s and are entering the workforce, came up with the lazy girl label themselves and are wearing it proudly. In fact, the hashtag has nearly 18 million views on the social media platform. Younger workers may be disillusioned by older generations' insistence that overworking is the way to get ahead, experts said.

President Donald Trump's firings at the Department of Health and Human Services included the entire office that sets federal poverty guidelines, which determine whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for health programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, child care, and other services, former staff said.
