Worst, probably not compared to the Great Depression. But pretty darned bad, yes. I get students contacting me all the times for job advice, and this year it's really tough to provide concrete leads...since very few companies are hiring.

It is almost impossible to find any source that argues otherwise. Complete crap show. Give us back the last admins's economy ASAP.

I mean, yeah, but the responses here aren't in the trenches of the jobs your kids want; get off this site to where ppl in these careers actual are if you want good intel.

Well, my 2026 grad is currently applying to law school along with record numbers of applicants. So I would say yes.

And yet I know many parents with kids about to graduate college or close to it, that voted for this. Way to screw over your own kids and all the rest while you are at it. Idiots.

Worst ever. Nothing stabilizing until our orange moron is gone forever.

Or do you think things will look up?
