Care reer r Edu ducation Context “…the generation that first entered the job market in the aftermath of the Great Recession is now going through its second ‘once-in-a- lifetime’ downturn.” “Recession graduates, with limited opportunities, will start in jobs that are a worse fit. Once the economy recovers, they will compete for jobs with people who have more experience. In addition, Ms. Kahn noted, recession graduates seem more risk averse. “People that graduate into a recession don’t change jobs as often as people that graduate into booms,” she noted. And these job changes are one of the best ways to get a raise.” New York Times, May 2020
