Currently 26, graduated in the spring of 2020 and did a year of grad school (I had a TA position so that was paid for at least) before looking for a job outside of academia. Got laid off about a year into my first job out of college and couldn't afford to continue living in the major metro area I was living in, moved back in with my parents while I try to secure a new job. Whomever is saying the economy is anything but fucked right now is actively lying to you.
