The job market outlook among Americans has become increasingly negative, with only 28% of workers considering it a good time to find quality employment. This marks a stark decline from mid-2022 when 70% felt positively. The pessimism is particularly pronounced among college graduates, with only 19% expressing optimism. The gap in sentiment between college-educated and non-college-educated workers is the widest since 2001. Economic concerns, including rising oil prices due to geopolitical tensions, contribute to this bleak outlook.
