US college graduates face harsh job market amid economic uncertainty

New college graduates in the United States face a challenging job market due to economic uncertainty driven by various factors including tariffs, artificial intelligence, and global conflicts. A recent job survey showed 6.9 million open jobs, but hirings increased marginally, making it difficult for new entrants to get a foothold in the labour market. The quits rate is down, indicating a reduction in job turnover as workers and employers remain cautious during this period of economic uncertainty.
