The Class of 2020

February 01, 2021

The job market was hit hard at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as many people lost their jobs and some employers began delaying the hiring process.

Today we talk about the students who graduated in 2020, and how their opportunities were affected by the pandemic. We also talk about what industries are recovering faster than others, and what it could mean for this year’s graduates.

Produced by Micah Yason.
