I had to download all the csv from qilt and compile the data. Not hard but tedious using OnlyOffice. Maybe there is a better way to do it.

I was in CS undergrad from 2016 to late 2020. I mentored and tutored students from sophomore to senior year. The difference between new grads starting their careers or even getting internships had a HUGE drop off after 2019. I know many engineers who were unemployed for 6+ months or even over a year after graduating post 2020, pre 2020 that simply did not happen unless you were barely passing all of your classes.
I’m in the US but I could see it happening in real time, including in my own job search. What a lot of these metrics don’t include is underemployment, because a CS undergrad degree holder working full time at Walmart or McDonald’s is still counted as “employed full time” but they are not utilizing their degree.

Don’t know what happened in 2015 but 2021 makes sense. Mass layoffs due to COVID into hiring freezes and uncertainty which stalled job growth.
Now we are seeing similar layoffs and hiring freezes due to the expectations of AI which in turn is causing a bubble and causing economic uncertainty.
I can see it jumping back up after the AI hype dies down.
