The last thirteen years have been a job market going from around 10% unemployment to practically zero to approximately 3% now, a period of continuous growth in employment and the economy, followed by the hottest extended job market in the last 30+ years of US history, consistently at or below the average for the last 40 years. The idea that these people have graduated into a tough market is nonsensical.

Yes, 2009-2010 was cooler, the rest has been average to significantly better than average.
