Cengage Group's 2025 Graduate Employability Report, based on surveys of nearly 2,500 hiring managers, instructors, and recent graduates, reveals a growing skills gap amid a tight labor market. Employers demand job-specific technical skills that many grads lack, while 71% now require college degrees for entry-level roles, up from 55% last year. Factors like AI's rise, economic pressures, and reduced hiring plans exacerbate the mismatch, with graduate unemployment hitting 5.8% earlier in 2025—the highest in over a decade outside pandemic effects. The findings highlight the need for better alignment between education and employer needs to address widening inequality.

What do these people do if they can't find a job in their field? Do they work blue-collar or do some kind of mundane back office job? That must be depressing as fuck.
