          Historic reversal: Unemployment for non-degree workers aged 22–34 is near a 20-year low, while young graduates face unusually tough job prospects.

           

          Drivers of change: Skilled trade shortages, slower immigration, and AI replacing entry-level office work are fueling demand for hands-on roles.

           

          Degrees still matter: Overall, degree holders maintain lower unemployment, but early-career advantages are shifting toward skills-based and physical jobs.
