A first chart tab with four lines shows the net hires rate by age group since January 2007. Workers aged 21 to 24 have the highest and most volatile net hires rate, which includes a sharp drop during the COVID 19 pandemic in 2020, a rebound into 2022, and a decline toward more typical levels thereafter. The net hires rate for the other age groups—25 to 34, 35 to 54, and 55-plus—remain lower and steadier but follow a similar path.
