1 in 10 young college graduates are idled, above pre-pandemic levels, following an Economic Policy Institute study.

1 in 10 young college graduates are "idled", meaning they neither work nor attend school, according to a recent Economic Policy Institute (EPI) study. This figure is above the pre-pandemic level of 64.3%. Graduating during economic downturns can have long-lasting impacts on career and earnings, with a "very slow catch-up process" potentially taking 8-15 years for those with the best grades to fully recover.
