Computer Science Among Majors With Highest Unemployment In US


Computer science has been one of the most popular college majors in recent years. Many students choose it believing it offers strong job prospects and high salaries. However, recent data reveals a different story in the United States: many graduates are struggling to find jobs in the field.


According to a report by Newsweek, based on data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, computer science ranks seventh among undergraduate majors with the highest unemployment rate-currently at 6.1 percent. This places it just behind other majors like physics (7.8 percent).


HR consultant Bryan Driscoll told Newsweek that many students are given unrealistic expectations about what a computer science degree guarantees. He pointed out that despite working hard and choosing a "top" major, many graduates face tough competition, limited opportunities, and growing student debt. He added that in the current market, a candidate's background or university name often outweighs their actual skills.
