A summary of the video "The UK's Graduate Jobs Crisis, Explained" by TLDR News UK is as follows:
The UK is currently experiencing the most challenging job market for graduates since before the pandemic. Recent data shows a 33% decrease in graduate job postings compared to the previous year, with competition reaching a record high. According to the Institute for Student Employers (ISE), there are now an average of 140 applications for every graduate vacancy, the highest figure since 1991.
The video explains that this crisis is the result of several factors converging:
The problem is also geographically concentrated, with nearly half of all graduate jobs located in London, forcing many graduates to either move to the capital or accept underemployment elsewhere, which in turn exacerbates regional inequality. While graduate salaries are also lagging behind those for non-graduate roles, the video suggests that as the economy recovers and AI becomes more integrated as a workplace tool, the demand for graduates may eventually improve.
