A new analysis published today by Lewis Silkin argues that employers are facing skills shortages while simultaneously offering fewer true entry-level opportunities. The problem is that companies increasingly want candidates who can contribute immediately rather than candidates they can train. Even more striking, recent data cited by Forbes found that salaried jobs requiring no prior experience have fallen 73% over the past four years and now account for only about 1 in 50 jobs. Recent college graduates have an unemployment rate around 5.6%, considerably above the overall rate. That's creating what people are increasingly calling an “entry-level squeeze.”
