(The College Fix)—A recent survey from Intelligent found that “1 in 4 hiring managers say recent grads are unprepared for the workforce” and “1 in 8 managers [are] planning to avoid hiring them in 2025.”
The main reasons for this are lack of preparation, a so-so work ethic, and a sense of entitlement among the grads, according to the survey.
“24% of hiring managers believe recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce, while 33% cite a lack of work ethic, and 29% view them as entitled,” the survey found.
“Additionally, 27% feel recent graduates are easily offended, and 25% say they don’t respond well to feedback.”
The survey results appear to mirror a trend found in recent headlines. A “2025 college graduate job market” search conducted by The College Fix produced the following headlines:
“Class of 2025 College Grads Face Uncertain Job Market”
“Job Market is Getting Tougher for College Graduates”
“New Grads Struggling to Find Work in Job Market
