College graduates are landing jobs and they have the Baby Boomers to thank. According to Georgetown’s Center for Education and Workforce, unemployment is down to 6.2% this year from its high of 10.2% during the recession. Although steady financial recovery plays its part in the decrease, the “huge rush” of Baby Boomer retirees is providing more opportunities for graduates. In the coming years, Boomers will leave behind two out of every three jobs for college grads. (MarketWatch)
