Ciò che la storia della disoccupazione dei laureati sbaglia

Thought this was an interesting an analysis:

“A 23-year-old college graduate newly looking for a job is highly exposed to the current hiring slowdown. A 23-year-old who exited the education system several years ago aged 18 entered a different, more buoyant labour market, making them far less exposed to the sudden freeze in hiring today. This is not a like-for-like comparison.”

“To determine whether recent graduates are having an especially tough time in 2025’s low-hiring environment, the comparison we should make instead is with others who recently entered the labour market for the first time, regardless of age. A newly job-seeking graduate might be in their mid-twenties, but someone entering the world of work straight from high school will be several years younger.”

“Applying the same adjustment on the other side of the Atlantic reveals a similar pattern in western Europe: young workers without a degree have seen an uptick in joblessness rates of 2.4 percentage points on average compared with 1.4 for recent graduates”
