A quarter of unemployed individuals in the United States hold a bachelor's degree or higher, reaching a record level

In September, the number of unemployed individuals aged 25 and older in the U.S. with at least a bachelor's degree exceeded 1.9 million, accounting for a quarter of the total unemployed population in the country. JP Morgan's Chief U.S. Economist Michael Feroli pointed out that the rising unemployment rate among college-educated individuals has intensified concerns about job losses triggered by artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, large companies such as Amazon, Target, and Starbucks have announced layoffs. Employment services company Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that the scale of layoffs announced by U.S. companies in October was the highest level for the same period in over twenty years
