'Into a Void': Young US College Graduates Face Employment Crisis

  • Recent US college graduates face a hiring crisis, exemplified by Yale graduate moving back to low-income Brooklyn amid scarce job prospects in 2025.
  • This crisis stems from a consistent labor market weakening since 2022, worsened by post-pandemic hiring slowdowns and uncertain Trump administration policies.
  • Technology, finance, and business sectors have cut job openings by over 40 percent since 2021, disproportionately affecting recent graduates who often lack required experience.
  • The unemployment rate for recent graduates stands at 5.8 percent, higher than any time since 2013 excluding the pandemic period, while new hiring fell 16 percent year-over-year.
  • Analysts warn resolution will take time and that conditions may worsen before improving, with many graduates burdened by debt and struggling to find relevant employment.
