Job prospects are looking pretty good for graduates this year–the first cohort of gen Z to enter the workforce with a diploma or degree.
According to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), unemployment rates for high school and college graduates are closing in on prerecession levels. Wages are beginning a slow climb as well, particularly for those with a college degree. Among young college graduates, average wages are $19.18 per hour—only 1.4% higher than in 2000.
