Fresh grad job market looking rough right now. Latest employment figures show something worth paying attention to: unemployment rate for college graduates aged 20-24 has climbed to 8.5%. That's the highest reading we've seen since the chaos of 2020.
This metric matters because it often signals broader economic headwinds. When young professionals struggle to land jobs, it typically reflects tightening conditions across risk assets - including crypto markets. Institutional investors watch these labor indicators closely when adjusting portfolio allocations.

8.5%? Damn, that's even worse than I expected... Now the institutions will have to start reducing their positions, right?

All these fresh grads are relying on their parents; this data should have been flagged a long time ago.

ngl this data is really concerning... 8.5% shows that the economy is indeed squeezing risk assets.

8.5% is really unsustainable. Is Bitcoin going to lie flat as well?

8.5% is indeed a bit crazy, but honestly, institutions have been positioning themselves for a while now.

ngl this number is a bit scary... Just graduated and the unemployment rate is already 8.5%. Institutions must be reallocating their portfolios.

8.5% is really ridiculous. My friend just graduated and has been submitting resumes for two months without any response.

8.5%? Why does this number seem more stable than the gains in my wallet...
