The class of 2024 is likely entering the job market this month as they rush to lock down a job after graduation. Will they find what they’re looking for?
According to job search platform Monster, 82% of graduates are confident they will receive a job offer shortly after graduating, a drop of just 6% compared to 2023. That’s not to say graduates aren’t aware that the job market isn’t nearly as friendly to employees as it was in 2021 and 2022. Monster also found that 77% of graduates are concerned about job security while they look for a new role. Given that U.S. employers cut over 90,000 jobs in March alone, this fear is not unfounded.
