Workers ages 22 to 34 with no college degree are seeing some of their lowest unemployment rates in decades.

Meanwhile, their degree-holding compatriots are having one of their worst stretches in years, according to a new analysis from the Burning Glass Institute reported by the Wall Street Journal.

“I don’t think it’s a temporary thing,” says Gad Levanon, Burning Glass’s chief economist.

🤠 Texas is officially locking in $100,000 as the new baseline for free public college tuition.

Texas State University made waves by doubling its "Bobcat Promise" income cap from $50,000 to $100,000 for incoming 2027 freshmen. The move puts another major Texas system directly in line with a growing state trend to make six-figure middle-class households eligible for $0 in sticker-price tuition.

Here is how the $100,000 free-tuition threshold breaks down across Texas' public powerhouse campuses:

🐾 Texas State University (The Newest Addition):

The Rule: Starting in Fall 2027, Texas high school grads from families earning $100,000 or less get full tuition and mandatory fees covered for four years.

The Catch: For families earning $50,000 to $100,000, students must graduate in the top 25% of their high school class and complete 15 credits per semester. (Under $50,000 has no rank requirement).

🤘 University of Texas at Austin (Texas Advance Commitment):

The Rule: Covers 100% of tuition for Texas residents with a family Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $100,000 or less.

The Extra Perk: UT Austin also offers partial tuition assistance for middle-income families making up to $125,000, and the guarantee extends to both incoming freshmen and transfer students.

🎯 Texas A&M University (Aggie Assurance):

The Rule: Guarantees that federal, state, and institutional grants cover full tuition for Texas residents with a family income of $60,000 or less.

The Gap: A&M still sits lower than UT Austin and Texas State's new cap, leaving room for a potential expansion as rivalry pressure builds ahead of 2027.

🛠️ University of Houston (Cougar Promise):

The Rule: Offers 100% covered tuition and mandatory fees for dependent Texas freshmen with family income up to $65,000, with tiered tuition support available for families earning up to $125,000.

While these "Promise" programs wipe out $10,000 to $12,000 in annual tuition, families still have to account for room, board, and textbooks—costs that can easily run another $13,000+ per year.
