Campus CareerFuel™ Launches First Integrated Job Site for New Grads
Summit, New Jersey (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- In 1992, the first year BLS.gov started tracking employment data by educational level, there were 26.9 million college grads in the labor force. Today there are 47.1 million, a 75% increase. Unemployment was 3% for college grads in 1992 and rose to 13.5% for 2011 college grads ages 20-29, according to BLS.gov data. Add to that a more complex landscape for finding jobs (social media, a multitude of job boards, personal branding, etc.) and it is not surprising that young college graduates are struggling to find work and often find themselves in jobs that do not require a college degree such as bartending, retail sales, etc.
The economic impact of unemployment or underemployment (working part time or in jobs that are not commensurate with education) can be lifelong. “The earnings penalty can be as high as 20 percent compared with their peers who find employment early, and the earnings deficit can persist as long as 20 years,” according to an IMF report in March, 2012.
