employment reports, that translates into 11.6 million jobs
permanently lost.

This is a problem for all workers, but especially for new
entrants into the labor force, who now must compete with
millions of more experienced job seekers, vying for a
shrinking number of available positions. The National
Association of Colleges and Employers, which was predicting
a robust job market a few months ago, now finds that more
than one in five employers are considering yanking offers that
have already been made to the class of 2020.

A somewhat bright bit of news for new grads is that data
still shows that those who earn the degree are likely in better
shape than those who do not. Through April, the
unemployment rate for those with at least a bachelor's
degree was 8.4%, compared to 21.2% for people without a
high school diploma.The bad news is that those who graduate
into a recession make less money in the early part of their
careers. NBER quantified the damage in a 2006 paper The
Career Effects Of Graduating In A Recession, which found
"graduating in a recession leads to large initial earnings
losses." These losses, which amount to about 9 percent of
annual earnings in the initial stage, eventually recede, but
slowly -- halving within five years but not disappearing until
about ten years after graduation.

A more recent accounting by the New York Federal
Reserve Bank examined the fallout from the Great Recession
for new graduates. "Those unlucky college graduates who
started their careers in the aftermath of the Great Recession
struggled to find jobs, let alone jobs that utilized their
degrees," which prompted many recent grads to become
underemployed--that is, working in jobs that typically do not
