The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is getting even worse

New data from the New York Fed highlights how the job situation for recent graduates is worsening.

While the rest of the labor market trends favorably, fresh graduates are more likely to be unemployed than the base U.S. working population. That has not happened before in the New York Fed data going back to 1990.

Americans now have a record $14 trillion in debt.

US households are now sitting on a record $14 trillion in mortgages, credit cards, student loans and other forms of debt.

Household debt ticked up 0.7% during the third quarter, the New York Federal Reserve said on Wednesday, continuing a five-year climb encouraged by low unemployment, strong consumer confidence and cheap borrowing costs.
Consumer debt is now about $1.3 trillion higher than the previous peak set in 2008, although these figures are not adjusted for inflation nor the larger size of today's economy. Household debt has climbed about 25% from the post-recession low of $12.7 trillion.

All of that borrowing, particularly credit cards and mortgages, support consumer spending -- the biggest part of the US modern economy. But that debt will also become harder to repay during the next recession when unemployment rises.
