Young adults who recently graduated from college are facing a tough job market.
The national unemployment rate among people age 22 to 27 with a degree is almost 6 percent, which is the highest it’s been since the pandemic. And, joblessness among young workers is also worse than the overall unemployment rate of around 4 percent.
Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks about reasons why the job market is particularly hard right now for young adults and what it takes to find and get a job if you’re new to the workforce.
And we want to hear from you.
Are you a recent college graduate or a young adult who is having a hard time finding work, or work in your field? Or did you just land a job after a long and difficult search? Tell us about it.
Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
