Op 7 juli 2023 viel het laatste kabinet-Rutte. Een brede coalitie met verstandige mensen – opgeblazen door VVD-leider Dilan ‘nareis op nareis’ Yeşilgöz. Nu, twee jaar nadat ze haar principes verruilde voor de conservatieve agenda van Geert Wilders, pronkt de VVD weer met liberale waarden. Maar wat is daar nu nog van over?
Vandaag is het wisselend bewolkt met kans op een regenbui. Vooral vanmiddag zijn er langere droge perioden. Met een temperatuur van ongeveer 19 graden is het koel voor de tijd van het jaar. De noordwestenwind waait vanmiddag matig boven land tot soms krachtig op het strand.

AUSTIN (ANP/RTR) - In de Amerikaanse staat Texas is het dodental door overstromingen opgelopen tot 78. In de regio Kerr County kwamen 68 mensen om het leven, onder wie 28 kinderen, zei politiekorpschef Larry Leitha zondag. Elders in de staat vielen tien doden, liet gouverneur Greg Abbott eerder weten. Hij specificeerde niet om hoeveel kinderen het ging. Er worden nog 41 mensen vermist.
Bij het Camp Mystic langs de rivier Guadalupe in Kerr County wordt volgens politiechef Leitha nog naar tien vermiste meisjes en één begeleider gezocht. Het christelijke zomerkamp waar ongeveer 700 meisjes aanwezig waren, werd getroffen door een vloedgolf na zware regenval op vrijdag. Op beelden is te zien hoe een deel van de slaapvertrekken grotendeels onder water is komen te staan.
Het kamp stelt dat ouders die nog niet zijn gecontacteerd, niet meteen van het ergste uit moeten gaan. De Nationale Garde van Texas deelt op X beelden van groepen meisjes die worden gered in vrachtwagens van het leger.
Recent College Graduates Face Higher Unemployment Than Other Workers - for the First Time in Decades
"A growing group of young, college-educated Americans are struggling to find work," reports the Minnesota Star Tribune, "as the unemployment rate for recent graduates outpaces overall unemployment for the first time in decades."
While the national unemployment rate has hovered around 4% for months, the rate for 20-something degree holders is nearly 6%, data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows. [And for young workers (ages 22 to 27) without a degree it's 6.9%.] The amount of time young workers report being unemployed is also on the rise.
Economists attribute some of the shift to normal post-pandemic cooling of labor market, which is making it harder for job-seekers of all ages to land a gig. But there's also widespread economic uncertainty causing employers to pull back on hiring and signs AI could replace entry-level positions....
Business schools nationwide were among the first to see the labor market shift in early 2023 as tech industry cuts bled into other sectors, said Maggie Tomas, Business Career Center executive director at Carlson. Tariffs and stock market volatility have only added to the uncertainty, she said. In 2022, when workers had their pick of jobs, 98% of full-time Carlson MBA graduates had a job offer in a field related to their degree within three months of graduation, according to the school. That number, which Tomas said is usually 90% or higher, dropped to 89% in 2023 and 83% in 2024.
Part of the challenge, she said, is recent graduates are now competing with more experienced workers who are re-entering the market amid layoffs and hiring freezes... After doing a lot of hiring in 2021 and 2022, Securian Financial in St. Paul is prioritizing internal hires, said Human Resources Director Leah Henrikson. Many entry-level roles have gone to current employees looking for a change, she said. "We are still looking externally, it's just the folks that we are looking for externally tend ... to fulfill a specific skill gap we may have at that moment in time," Henrikson said.
