What’s Happening to Jobs for New Grads<\/strong><\/a> — from linkedin.com by Jeff Selingo<\/p>\n

No matter where you go to college, the job market math for new graduates is grim right now,<\/strong> as I write in a new article out yesterday in New York magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There were 15% fewer entry-level and internship job postings in 2025 than the year before, according to Handshake, a job-search platform popular with college students; meanwhile, applications per posting rose 26%.<\/p>\n

How much AI is to blame for the fragile entry-level job market is unclear. <\/strong>Several research studies show AI is hitting young college-educated workers disproportionately, but broader economic forces are part of the story, too.<\/p>\n

As Christine Y. Cruzvergara<\/a>, Handshake\u2019s chief education strategy officer, told me, AI isn\u2019t \u201ctaking\u201d jobs so much as employers are \u201cchoosing\u201d to replace parts of jobs with automation rather than redesign roles around workers. \u201cThey\u2019re replacing people instead of enabling their workforce,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s graduates are stuck in an in-between moment. Many started college before AI mattered and graduated into a labor market reshaped almost overnight, where entry-level roles are disappearing faster than students can adapt.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
