    The whole foundation on which this article builds its argument upon, that the labor market is strong, may not be true. There is data suggesting that the gig economy is obscuring the true unemployment numbers and that it has been growing for quite some time.

    Even with that, the trend line of unemployment appears to be going upwards.

    That dude needs to fix his shift key.

    That aside, the job market has been horrible for recent graduates in the last three years and it’s just a fact.

    Just relax, there is already too much pressure, do not blame yourself.
