Thousands of Top Upcoming ‘25 College Graduates Just Lost their Jobs Because of Trump

Yesterday thousands of top, upcoming 2025 college graduates just lost the jobs that they were in the process of being hired for with the federal government because of Trump’s Executive Order. Many of those students were at the top of their classes in top universities. One of those students, for example, was at the top of his class in a top college and wanted to do something meaningful instead of working for big business. He believed in public service and wanted to work for our government to make our country better. He was passionate about public health and public service and applied and was in the application process for jobs at the CDC and NIH. He was excited about the opportunities until he received emails yesterday that all of the jobs have been canceled because of Trump’s Executive Order.

Now he, like thousands of other top students that were going to go to work for the federal government at places like NASA, CDC, NIH, State Department, NSA, Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, etc., have been left in the lurch. They have to re-start the job search process at what is now a very late date for any hiring. Most big companies did their hiring for ‘25 college graduates last summer. These top students will now have a difficult time finding any decent job because of Trump’s recklessly broad executive order. And the federal government has now lost an entire college graduation year of top talent. Young graduates were hurt with the Housing Crisis, the Banking Crisis, COVID, and now this.

Many Top College Students Have Lost Their Summer Internships

Trump’s order has also canceled the internships with the federal government that thousands of top students at our top universities were relying upon. Thousands were in the process of being hired for internships with NASA, the NIH, CDC, State Department, etc. These internships are highly competitive to get and many are the dream internships of college students. Trump just canceled all of these important internships for these students and it will be too late for these students to find other good internships. Moreover, our federal government often hires the top talent out of these internships, so we have lost out on many incredibly talented American students.

There are real people hurt by Trump’s recklessly broad actions. This is another huge loss for our talented college students and upcoming college graduates. This is also a huge talent loss for our nation.
