Study Shows Graduates Face Tough Market

A new study is showing Granite State college graduates are facing a tough job market.

New Hampshire Employment Security says graduates ages 20 to 24 with a bachelor’s degree posted an over seven-percent unemployment rate last year.

That’s more than double the three-point-four percent rate for people who only have a high school diploma.

Experts say some reasons for that gap include AI replacing some roles, tariffs and broader economic uncertainty.
