In Germany, unemployment among university graduates has reached a record high, with 372,000 graduates unemployed as of August 2026. Young graduates under 30 are particularly affected by economic challenges and the rise of artificial intelligence. Despite this increase, higher education still offers significant protection against unemployment, with a rate of 3.3% in 2025, much lower than the national average. Unemployment rates vary by field of study, with education graduates facing the lowest rates. The Federal Employment Agency attributes the rise in unemployment to economic difficulties and the growing use of AI, although it does not foresee AI replacing entire professions.
