Gen Z College Grads Face Same Unemployment as Non-Grads, Signaling Decline in Education's Value

Meanwhile, many young men are turning to skilled trades and vocational training as alternative career paths, which are experiencing growth and are seen as more recession-resistant. The trend highlights a shift in the job market where credentials matter less, and practical skills are increasingly valued.
