A study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York quietly reframes a familiar anxiety: it is not the rise of artificial intelligence, but the normalization of remote work, that is closing the door on entry-level opportunity for recent college graduates. As companies shed the informal architecture of the physical workplace — the mentorship by proximity, the learning by osmosis — they have grown reluctant to absorb young workers who require it most. What looks like a hiring slowdown is, in a deeper sense, a structural withdrawal from the long-standing social compact of career formation.

Recent college graduates face reduced job opportunities and delayed career entry, potentially leading to lower lifetime earnings, increased student loan burden, and delayed household formation and consumer spending.
