BREAKING: The inflation-adjusted average starting salary for college graduates is down -8% YoY, to ~$54,500, the lowest in at least 6 years.
This marks the 4th consecutive annual decline.
Salaries have plummeted -24% in real terms since the ~$71,000 peak seen in 2021.
This comes as graduates are being pushed into lower-paying roles that often have little to do with their degree.
The % of recent graduates whose first job aligns with their field of study has fallen from 26% for the 2022 cohort to 20% for the 2025 cohort.
Young Americans are unable to find jobs.

This striking macro image uncovers the real reason bee stings hurt so intensely.
New high-resolution imaging exposes the hidden serrated design that makes a bee sting far more painful than a medical needle.
Unlike a hypodermic needle—smooth, polished, and engineered to glide through skin with minimal tissue disruption—a honeybee’s stinger is a sophisticated natural weapon built for maximum damage and retention. Close-up views reveal a shaft lined with dozens of sharp, backward-facing barbs that resemble tiny saw teeth. As the stinger penetrates, these jagged edges rip and catch on surrounding tissue, creating far greater mechanical trauma than the clean puncture of a surgical needle and making the stinger extremely difficult to extract without additional tearing.
The physical injury is only part of the story. Once lodged, the bee rapidly injects a complex venom blend specifically evolved to aggressively stimulate pain receptors and trigger rapid, intense inflammation. This powerful combination of brutal mechanical disruption and targeted chemical attack produces a level of pain that far exceeds what a simple needle prick would cause—even one delivering the same volume of liquid.
These microscopic details highlight nature’s remarkable engineering for defense: every backward barb is precisely shaped to inflict lasting pain and discourage future threats. The image serves as a vivid reminder of how evolution has turned a tiny structure into one of the insect world’s most effective deterrents.

Americans are extremely bullish on the stock market:
50% of Americans now expect the stock market to rise over the next 6 months, the 2nd-highest reading since 2020, according to a January Gallup poll.
This is above the long-term average of ~45% seen from 2006 to 2019.
By comparison, the previous peaks were 61% in January 2025 and 59% in December 2003.
At the same time, only 25% surveyed saw the market declining, the 2nd-lowest reading since 2014.
Meanwhile, 50% expect unemployment to increase, the highest percentage since May 2009, even higher than the 49% seen during the 2020 pandemic.
The disconnect between stock market expectations and economic fears has rarely been this wide.
