The share of new grads who can’t find full-time work just hit a 37-year high. That’s a warning to the rest of the job market 🚨
Companies are still working through post-pandemic over-hiring, tariff uncertainty has frozen hiring budgets, and AI is being tested on exactly the kind of work that used to go to entry-level employees.

If you’re employed but feel stuck — doing more work, getting fewer promotions, watching raise leverage evaporate — you’re likely feeling the downstream effect. When the bottom of the ladder freezes, the whole thing can freeze with it.

Save this one 🔖 And in the meantime: start a wins doc, book a coffee, check your runway. Building optionality is a way to leverage a market like this.
