Unemployment among university graduates hit a record high, reaching higher than the general unemployment rate for the first time.[2] In the US, the unemployment rate for college graduates was about 5.8% in 2025, a jump of about 30% since 2022.[3] In a survey of more than 850 business leaders across the UK, US, France, Germany, Australia, China and Japan, 41% of bosses reported that AI was allowing them to cut staffing at their firms.[4]
