I notice that they are more interested in the classical skills associated with homesteading and cottagecore... so must be a city thing you're seeing.

Are you talking about Millennials, Gen X or Y, or post-Millennials?

And yes I suspect it is worse with Urban and Suburban young people than those who live in rural areas like the Lakes Region.

Closer to the city most young people work in offices and all want to be a Project Manager/Supervisor/Boss as soon a possible and way too many come to the workforce right out of a masters program and have never worked one day at a job before they start with us.

I have even seen new employees in their mid 20's who have no drivers license and have never driven! That is just amazing for any person unless they grew up in NYC or similar,,,

Millennials.
Those moving to the area seem to want a quieter slower pace of life.

Most, not all. The ones with professional careers who established their resumes/portfolios in the cities and are at the top of their game usually move here and work virtually commuting occasionally.
Most like to keep the tranquility that way. Some disagree, but I found they were brought up in that environment and didn't see things the way we do. It's hard to convince them to be as it may.
