Topic: Only 50% of the college Class of 2020 had full-time jobs 6 months post grad (Read 571 times)

It is but obvious to see this sharp fall in jobs. The unemployment is not because of freshers but could be added number from those who lost the job due to businesses running out and getting into sinks. The whole and sole reason as we know is COVID situation. No wonder they had to do it as the financial crisis was at its peak level.

So if the peeps were loosing the jobs then it’s big question mark how the freshers from the 20’S class would get any job ?

This is not only in America or Europe but all the continent and countries in it. Most hit is American only followed by some major Asian countries.

This is a very good statement, I think that the intention of casinos is never to put their users' data into perspective, in fact in the best exchanges they have been hacked, and very few have the ability to respond to their customers with all of their money and investment, that is why every case of ransonware and all kinds of hacking style problems, computer security by casinos every time increases, and I assume that every day casinos and Excahnges work hard to increase their Informatic security.

This is something that is happening all over the world, and while in some way it is inevitable as there are some people that may have gone to college to study a particular career and then end up in a completely different field, at the same time one of the reasons for this is that what you are taught at school is not really aligned with what business are looking for in the real world, which means that those that graduate college do not really have a market for their skills.

He may be right in a certain sense, but a professional leaves a university with 0 experience, and that is a disadvantage, however specializing or taking highly relevant courses can open the doors to many. I'm going to Spain, I have an excellent resume with a medical equipment company called Konica Minolta, I also have some Cisco networks, so that alone opens doors, I'll just wait for them to see my profile and call me, if it's to go there I'll go to go, but the opportunities are open, do not think that everything is bloked.

This pandemic did really make out the situation more worst yet it cant really be denied that we are really on a very hard situation nowadays. Lack of jobs and positions had been a common problem
for decades and now the lots of companies had bankrupt then it do make the situation more worst which graduates as of these years would still struggle out more on this kind of problem.
For now the best thing to be done personally is to seek out ways on which on how you do sustain yourself at least and one of those things you do already mentioned
are those ways.

A regular employee especially with just a number of a year working in a certain company that really felt the impact of Covid in their industry sadly lost their work, newly graduates that were looking for a job really felt the difficulty of finding a job, and yeah, to be honest, I am also one of those people who really felt the severe effect of Covid not just in health aspect but mostly in financial effect. I'm glad, I'd still made a good earning doing online working, crypto earning, and used this time to enhance my skills especially trading. What I am trying to say is everyone has a different experienced and hurdles that have encountered during the pandemic.

I am actually quite confused about the overall impact of the pandemic on the job market. The stock markets seems to be doing well and most of those who have invested in the stocks have received 50%-60% returns during the last 12 months. IT employees are saying that they received the best salary increments in their entire career during 2021. Previously the blue-collar workers were in bad shape due to the lockdown, but that also seems to have changed. Industries such as tourism and aviation seems to have made a remarkable recovery.

Which is why it is so important to get internship experience during college.

I think that a lot of people have the misconception of college being this guarantee that you will make a ton of money after you graduate.

That could not be further from the truth honestly. The stuff you learn in college is completely useless for the real world, much like high school, it's just that your degree boosts your reputation somewhat.

The pandemic definitely contributed to this situation.
Even if most of them wanted a job, they couldn't get one because last year, most businesses are closed.
So not really surprising. And now, we are again faced by new variant that may derail the improvement of our situation.
But for those who are not choosy with the job that they can get, they can always find one if they truly want.
In this stage, we should not be choosy if you want to survive and not rely on someone else's help.

Having graduated from college some years back, its surprises me that this didn't start sooner.  It took myself and many of my friends quite a few months to a year to find a job after graduating form college.  I think many people take their time because they are often still living rent free with their parents and they are looking for the right gig.  More college grads could find work immediately if they were willing to find something part time like working for McDonalds are Burger King.  Also I think we must take in to account the pandemic.  The graph clearly shows that this really took hold when the coronavirus shut down many jobs/companies. 

That's the same reality in my own country as well, and the negative part of it all is that unemployment in my country has caused a rise in the rate of crime and banditry, many people who are unwilling to learn a skill and ready to take a shortcut are always quick to get into one sort of crime or the other, I think from my observation, countries with a very bad economic condition usually have many of their youths going into criminal activities, I have no figures to back this up, but I think it's true, if many individuals have work or a skill, they would not have the time that it takes to perpetrate one crime or the other.

In my opinion, the only way things can get better is if the government on their own part try to create more jobs for people, and then individuals themselves also try their possible best to help themselves by learning/engaging in a good skill so they can render the required service and make money from it.

This has been an issue for quite a long time in my country. The funniest part of it all is that even back then the unemployment rate was less than what we have now, but people back then still complained about it and now it has gotten worse. If people back in those days were to see how much things has gotten worse this time around, in terms of unemployment, they would even be grateful of their own time.

This time around in my country people who are yet to graduate are advised to learn skills that would help them to be self employed after they have graduated from school. Because, the government will not be able to provide jobs for everyone, so it’s best to learn other skills that can help you to create your own business and be self employed, rather than waiting for the government to give you job, which may never work out. People who were hired before you are even yet to retire, and as more people graduate every year the rate of people who are searching for jobs increases.

When we are talking about developing countries they are not going to support them financially because the bigger companies existing there supress any laws which flavours the upcoming ones to keep the monopoly. And if everyone starts a company then there will be no more unemployment since individual can't run their company alone they need staffs for sure but who is going to be the consumer.

There are still many students that think about learning should be about learning at the school or college. While kearning, they may not need to do jobs beside learning.
They will probably prefer to do some activities like learning, joining some organization, hanging out with friends, shopping, touring n traveling and maybe some other possibilities.
Only few students who are willing to have part time jobs while learning at a college. And most of them are coming from low-middle economic family.

Well, this may relate to the mindset, habit, and also how a family also give the influence. It is so common in my country.
Some may also think that working while studying will disturb their focus.
We cannot blame them because this is their choice.
But right now there are many online jobs to be done without spending many times or disturbing studying process.
And I personally will never think that learning at college means nothing. Because I am here right now is also because I am learning at college and then I know more things.
Just depend on each individual.

it is curious that not all economies are actually going the same way. While Japanese grads tend to be offered more non-permanent jobs, many students in USA are now being well received on STEM requiring jobs as the market seems to be seriously overheating. It is a confusing situation in my view, because there are, at the same time, fears of the market suffering an "stagflaction" which traditionally kills employment. At least is going to be interesting to see how this plays out next year.

Dont mind on where it would lead us because people wont really care at all if you do ask me as long they could dive in into some work or job or business as long they could make out some profits or money then they wouldnt be in concern on where it would be heading.

Its been part of reality on which jobless people is really on big numbers on where its normal for a certain degree on having limited vacancies which not all cant really be catered or get hired
for a said position which would really result into this which it isnt surprising.

Normal for people on seeking out methods or ways which they could get in as long it would benefit them out.

The current crisis is youth with entrepreneurial spirit.  If you have that soul, you won't expect any more job vacancies from the company.  In fact, the souls of young people who have been instilled in the spirit of becoming entrepreneurs, the government must support them in their products.  at least this is our effort to share and watch together in society as a form of motivation.

Probably until 2000 there is high demand for the degree graduates but after that everyone started to think that they eill become rich if they got a degree which resulted in atleast 100 times more than actual demand so only few people are actually working in the field where they got degree after than entrepreneurship became famous now everyone wants to become an entrepreneur, don't know where it will lead us to.

And this is what happens when the education you receive is worth nothing, decades ago when the school system still cared about preparing people for the future a degree was worth something, however students and the education complex came to the conclusion the value was on the degree itself and not on the education that you supposedly received, so people began to chase all kind of useless degrees to the point the market is inundated with them and now many companies are ignoring degrees and instead hire people based on skill alone, which in many cases that is the only thing the companies care about.

"Victim" ? A victim of his own choices maybe.

So If I need a car with four sits to carry my family around and I come back with a bike it's the fault of the bike shop? If I need to check my eyesight and the only investigations I do is for my sperm count is the sperm bank at fault for me not seeing a stop sign and hitting a truck?
If I want to invest and I buy dogecoin instead of bitcoin it's the fault of coin base if I won't get the same return?
Why do you think every graduate deserves the right to have a job that matches his education right off the bat? Such a system existed in the past in most countries, you know for sure the outcome, every guy that managed to pass a few exams would work a job he in most cases wasn't fit for. Oh, and yeah, the evil right wing! Seems like you're desperately seeing for someone to give jobs to everyone no matter how much that would hurt the economy, somebody must take care of you and do everything for you.

It's not about victim shaming it's about manning up and facing the consequences of your own decision!
Nobody forced you to go to that college or attend that specific study (unless your parents did so) and the rest of the workforce should not have to carry the burden of sustaining a failing sector of the economy just because some poeple think it's worth it and needs those jobs.

Oh, and btw, I've worked exactly 3 years out of more than twenty in a field that matches my master's degree.


The only thing wrong with the US labor market is that there are 11 million job openings and nobody wants them.
