For those who have already graduated from college the job market isn’t looking so great, thanks to the coronavirus.
According to Forbes, as of June 2020, there were 73% fewer entry level jobs available.
Pew Research Center says young adults have the highest rate of unemployment during the pandemic. In May, it was 25.3% percent among those 16 to 24-years-old, 12 percentage points higher than any other age group.
