Absolventen der Informatik sind seit Jahrzehnten den schlechtesten Arbeitsmarkt gegenüberstehen

**Submission Statement**

Computer science graduates are hitting **6.1% unemployment in 2025** while earning the highest starting salaries at $80,000. Meanwhile, fields we were told to avoid – like art history and journalism – have half the unemployment rates.

The numbers are brutal: CS ranks 7th highest in unemployment among ALL college majors. Computer engineering is even worse at 7.5%.

This isn’t a temporary dip. It’s the result of three forces hitting at once:
-AI tools replacing entry-level coding work 100,000+ tech layoffs in 2024-2025
-Universities doubling CS enrollment just as demand collapsed

Here’s the real problem: Companies won’t hire entry-level workers because AI can do basic tasks, but those basic tasks were exactly how people learned to become experienced workers. You can’t have senior staff without first having junior staff. It’s a vicious cycle that’s breaking the entire career pipeline.

For an entire generation of students, the „job of the future“ became one of the worst career bets in higher education.
