Look at the employment picture in Alabama tonight. According to the state department of labor, 3.3% of Alamians are unemployed as of March of this year. Green County has the highest unemployment rate at 7.7%. Shelby County has the lowest at 2.7%. We wondered how the current job market is looking for graduating college seniors. CBS 42's Mattie McQueen went to find out. College graduation is usually a very happy time. Celebrating a great milestone and accomplishment, but as many students told me today, the job market is tough right now, bringing with it some stress about what happens after they turn the tassel. It gets annoying, but I I need to make money. I need a job. Jameson Marshall began applying to jobs in the fall. He sent out at least 60 applications to only hear back from a handful. He started a new tactic on his job hunt. They're not going to see just a resume online. Call them. Like, let them remember some sort of something. Once you like start doing it, like you call call somewhere, they're not going to be like mean to you. And the job hunt is still on for Janna Ronaldo, too. She's only heard back from three jobs out of the more than 70 applications she sent in. I took some steps and uh I paid someone to go over my resume and redo it. I'm hoping that helped. It's definitely just I don't have the experience needed even with all the internships. Some graduating University of Alabama students say the lack of experience is a problem for many trying to enter the workforce. I think a lot of companies also like are going through things like hiring freezes. So, it's just hard to even like find a job to apply for and then if you're competing with people within the company. Both Haley Killian and Khloe Rickley get to skip the job hunt this year as they head into grad school. The second everyone was applying for jobs, I literally said, "I'm so relieved that I'm going back to school and I don't have to be doing this right now." Some graduating students like Travonda Ward believe it now takes more and more schooling to land a job. And this is actually my second master's degree. So, I'm just trying to get as much as I can to make myself more marketable to employers. Given the current job market, students like Ross Boseman feel grateful to have a job lined up after graduation. I was one of the lucky ones. So, I I feel for them a lot. I I know one of my friends is moving to Nashville and she's moving without a job, without a paycheck, and I feel I just feel for her. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers are planning to hire less than 1% of new college graduates from the class of 2025. Reporting in Tuscaloosa, Mattie McQueen, CBS42 News.
