The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is getting dangerously worse

New data from the New York Fed highlights how the job situation for recent graduates is worsening. While the rest of the labor market trends favorably, fresh graduates are more likely to be unemployed than the base U.S. working population. That has not happened before in the New York Fed data going back to 1990. While the unemployment rate for all college graduates aged up to 65 (blue line) is trending lower — currently near its lowest level of this current economic cycle — the market for recent college graduates (red) is bucking the overall trend. With the backdrop of a robust U.S. labor market, this is “an important and worrisome trend to watch because it never dropped to prior cycle lows,” DataTrek’s Jessica Rabe wrote in a note. “Even though those who have graduated from college typically get hired before less educated workers.”

No it isn't. Another media lie. They'll have to get jobs outside their degree, which makes them, hmm, exactly like every other generation, other than the fact that they'll never pay back their student loans. Thanks GuavaCheesePuff.

Exactly correct. Get a degree in math, science, engineering, medical etc. you have a job waiting. All my degrees were such.

Those days are over, Ravi has your job now.

All of the careers fields are being flooded with H-1B visa indentured servants.

Not sure why there is so much denial on the board.

The average Freeper is in their sixties I would guess and they think things are like they were in the 80's.

Fake news

Might be fake, but if true, probably has a lot to do with what majors these recent graduates are choosing.

OK. It might be real news because these folks majored in things not in demand. There are plenty of jobs out there even in small towns. These college grads could substitute teach or work at Target or Starbucks or Publix or Safeway. They may not like the jobs available, but there are jobs.

So my underwater, lesbian, basket weaving degree won’t get me a job?

Two separate issues

Holler at Mike Lee for being a jerk

Engineers have been hammering this issue since the 1970s. We were Pooh poohed.

"3 + pi = 6.14159. 😁" Congratulations, you've won an all expenses paid scholarship to the City of Chicago. Please choose if you would like to be a) Mayor, b) Head Groundskeeper at Wrigley Field or c) Chief of Police.

PITA lists.

If your school is on it Satan will be wearing ice skates before you are hired no matter how "woke" the company purports to be.

You are a trained trouble maker with poor thinking skills.

If this is accurate just look at the majors they have. Women’s studies or gender studies etc.

Head groundkeeper would be the best. When can I start?

Since I am conservative, I would be hated in the other jobs by the bureaucrats and it would be continual frustration. Plus, Chicago is mess and beyond repair.
