Young men are struggling in a slowing job market, even if they have college degrees (www.nbcnews.com)

Men ages 23 to 30 are discovering that a bachelor's degree doesn't offer the same protection from unemployment that it used to.

Amid a wider slowdown in hiring, the unemployment rate for men ages 23 to 30 with bachelor’s degrees has jumped in recent months to 6% — compared with 3.5% for young women with the same level of education, according to data analyzed by NBC News.

Now, young men with bachelor’s degrees are slightly likelier to be unemployed than young men with just high school diplomas, the analysis found. That’s a recent reversal after decades when young men with bachelor’s degrees had an advantage in the labor market, economists said.

Young women haven’t experienced the same trend; they are still significantly likelier to be employed if they have bachelor’s degrees.

of course they wrote the article about the 25% that showed men were worse off.

What do you mean "of course"? In the vast, vast majority of cases, female suffering is given more attention and sympathy than male suffering in the media.

Remember when 11% of killed journalists being women led to a social media campaign from the UN about 'stop targeting women journalists'?

Or when 25% of homeless being women was the focus of articles talking about homelessness?

Or when Boko Haram kidnapping girls generated massive media outrage, while them murdering boys didn't? Even the headlines would make no effort to even mention the sex of it wasn't female: you'd see "schoolgirls" or "girls" for the former, but just "children" or "students" for the latter.

There was widespread outrage about sexism in colleges when women were in the minority of graduates. Today, it's men that are a significant minority, and no one gives a shit.

Suicide rates increasing faster among girls than boys is given more attention than the fact that boys are still four times more likely to do it than girls.

"Of course", indeed.
