A recent Federal Reserve analysis showed that the unemployment gap between high school and college graduates has been narrowing since the 2008 recession and now sits at around 2.5 percentage points, down from an average of five percentage points from roughly the 1980s to early 2000s. The National Association of Colleges and Employers' 2026 Job Outlook Survey found that employers expect hiring for the Class of 2026 to remain flat. Next year's job market likely won't improve for college graduates.
