Struggling New Grads in a Tough Job Market
• Recent college graduates are facing an unexpectedly difficult job market, with unemployment rates significantly higher than the overall national average.
• Three main factors contribute to this: a cooling labor market with reduced turnover, the impact of Trump's tariff policies on hiring, and the increasing integration of AI into the workforce.
• The stagnant labor market means fewer opportunities for entry-level positions, as employees are hesitant to change jobs due to economic uncertainty.
• AI is automating tasks previously performed by entry-level workers, particularly in tech fields, leading to job displacement and reduced hiring.
• To navigate this challenging landscape, new graduates need to be resourceful, demonstrate skills beyond their degree, and actively network with potential employers.
