I have preliminary findings but I don't want to share anything unless it's a final draft for publication or peer review. This is a current high level summary of initial research: 1. **Pandemic Boom and ZIRP Expansion (2020–2021)** 2. **Efficiency Correction and Hiring Contraction (2022–2024)** 3. **Junior–Senior Labor Market Bifurcation** 4. **Supply Expansion vs. Demand Retrenchment** 5. **Collapse of Outcomes Transparency (CIRR Decline)** 6. **Financial Distress and Corporate Restructuring** 7. **Regulatory Crackdown on ISAs** 8. **Generative AI Disruption and Skills Realignment** 9. **ROI Compression and Extended Job Searches** 10. **Future Outlook: Consolidation, B2B Pivot, and Specialization**
