My niece just graduated two years ago summa cum laude with both a BA and a BS. Her entire peer group is entirely unemployed, in NY and CA, and basically living off of seasonal part time gigs where they can even get them. _ONE_ of her friends managed to snag a job as a NYC Sanitation worker.
In fact, she's flying across the country and staying with a friend for the next four months just to do an internship at a state park after being ghosted by all of the several hundred other opportunities she's applied for...

- in what fields?
ooh i also have to correct myself, BFA & BS.
I'm not going to give too much more detail here. Obviously not STEM but nothing fluffy.

Which letter? From my (probably mistaken) perspective
S usually requires a PhD to get into the field and if you get that far, it’s a battle for a handful of poorly paid positions waiting for you
T doesn’t need too much explanation here. Not great right now
E alright, but seems to be pretty sparse. A lot of actual engineering positions seem to have been outsourced long ago. Might also be hard to compete with just an undergrad.
M probably the most valuable right now IMO. Wide range of jobs you could have available, often decent if not high paying, but outside of those (if you can get them) you might as well be a philosopher.
The STEM push seemed to be a grift through and through.
