In July 2025, the U.S. unemployment rate was at 4.2% — which, historically speaking, is rather low. But that doesn’t mean that all job seekers are thriving.
An NBC News analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data finds that the unemployment rate among men ages 23 to 30 with a bachelor's degree has reached 6%. By comparison, the unemployment rate among women with a bachelor's degree in that same age range is 3.5%.
During the pandemic, the term “she-cession” was created to illustrate just how unfavorable the economy was for working women at the time. Now, with many young men struggling to find work, the term “he-cession” has started gaining traction in the media.
Emanuel Barcenas knows first hand just how bad things are for educated young men.

“____ Studies” graduates.

If Trump ends H-1B visa he would be a hero.
He’s probably not doing a good job identifying real opportunities and applying for them effectively. With a major such as his, he should have been doing internships throughout college, which would have set him up, ideally with one of those employers, for his first fulltime job.
President Trump is bringing in about 15 trillion bucks of new capitol investment into the US to rebuild our depleted industrial base.
This is not going to get done by a bunch of DEI hires.
Blame the victim? Some of you Freepers are UFB.

Seems to me more and more news programs and even ads are now dominated by women with many the ads showing men doing housekeeping jobs that used to be dominated by women. They can portray men however they want but I expect if China or Russia ever declares war on the US I want to see all those fighting women line up at recruiting offices to volunteer to join the military and take on those enemies much like young men did after Pearl Harbor.
