The economy needs millions of workers. So why can't college grads find jobs?
After more than a year of virtual classes and the loss of an on-campus, rite-of-passage experience, millions of newly minted college graduates need jobs.
U.S. businesses, coping with the direst labor shortages on record, need workers. Millions of them.
It would seem like a match tailored for a post-COVID-19 recovery that’s riding a historic surge in demand but remains constrained by a dearth of employees.
Except it’s not quite working out that way.
College students who graduated in May are struggling to find jobs, in part because they’re competing with both 2020 grads who deferred their job searches during the pandemic and the millions of Americans laid off in the health crisis, experts say. Although employers are scrambling to fill a record number of job openings, many are lower-wage positions that college grads aren’t seeking.
Other higher-skill, white-collar openings are also going begging but chiefly in certain industries, like technology and health care, college and staffing officials say.

Sounds like they want an experience person with a college degree who'll work for low wages.
