College graduates in the US are facing the worst entry-level job market since the pandemic, with the underemployment rate reaching 42.5% – its highest level since 2020. Young Americans are expressing frustration over fewer job openings and longer searches, as the job market is reshaped by tightening opportunities and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
