“Overall, a plurality of employers—45%—characterized the overall job market for Class of 2026 as “fair.”
The last time the largest group of employers identified the job market as “fair” was in 2021, when 52% rated it as “fair” and the overall hiring projections were also flat.”
I think “fair” means doable for the class of 2026. It may be harder to get that first job than in previous years but it’s not all doom and gloom.
