We use data from a résumé audit to estimate the impact of unemployment and underemployment on the employment prospects facing recent college graduates. We find no statistical evidence of negative duration dependence associated with unemployment spells for recent college graduates. Alternatively, college graduates who are underemployed have callback rates that are 30 percent lower than that for applicants who are adequately employed. The adverse effects of underemployment are robust across cities with different labor-market conditions. Internship experience obtained while completing one's degree reduces the negative effects of underemployment substantially. We conclude that underemployment serves as a strong, negative signal to prospective employers. |
