Will the Scarring Show? Graduating in the Time of COVID-19
Smith, Nicole
New England Journal of Higher Education, May 2020
2020 will forever be remembered as the year of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. The graduating class of 2020 will face a difficult job market, and the adversities will follow them for years. New graduates facing these types of jobs numbers will be subject to "scarring"--reduced lifetime incomes caused by entering the workforce during a downturn.
