Summary
Let’s dive straight into a growing concern right now in America: the rising unemployment rates among recent college graduates. It used to be that when you graduated from college, you could pretty much count on landing a job, but recent trends show that this isn’t a guarantee anymore.As of April 2026, the unemployment rate for college graduates aged 25 to 34 was around 3.5%, and for those aged 20 to 24, that number climbed to 5.4%. Not surprisingly, recent graduates—those between 22 and 27 years old—faced even tougher odds with an unemployment rate of 5.6%.
