Worst job market in years for college grads

Axios - College students graduating in the spring will be entering one of the worst job markets in years, The Wall Street Journal reports from a survey of employers.

    Big companies believe they can get by with significantly fewer workers than they've had in the past, so they're hiring less overall. Entry-level applicants are also competing against a large population of recently laid-off workers with a bit more experience.

And AI may eat everyone's lunch before long.

Handshake, a job site catering to people who are early in their careers, says there are an average of 26% more applications per job, compared to the same time last year, per the WSJ.

Over 60% of the upcoming graduating class said they're pessimistic about their careers.
