According to Monster’s 2024 State of the Graduate Report, 82% of graduates are confident they’ll receive a job offer shortly after graduating, a 6% dip from 2023. Although most graduates think they’ll get a job, 77% are concerned about job security while they look for a new role. Since U.S. employers cut more than 90,000 jobs in March alone, layoffs are increasingly a concern for workers regardless of experience level.
“Some of the workplace aspects that this year’s graduates are most adamant about are work flexibility, mental health and career development.”
Scott Gutz, CEO of Monster
