Marie Chailosky is graduating this spring from Ohio University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. She had plans to intern this summer in Nashville at Warner Music Group Corp.’s radio streaming department. Thursday, that offer evaporated.

Ms. Chailosky, 22 years old, says several classmates have had job offers pulled amid the economic chaos borne from the new coronavirus. She was also laid off from her hostess job at a brew pub in Athens, Ohio, and with her internship falling through, she says she plans on staying at her parents’ home in Florida for the foreseeable future.

“I’m really not sure what’s in store for me,” she said.

A Warner Music spokesman said, “While many of our offices work from home, we’ve temporarily paused our intake, with a view to resuming in the fall semester.”

A month ago, college seniors across America were preparing to graduate into the hottest job market in decades. Now, graduation ceremonies scheduled for May are canceled, three million people have filed for unemployment as businesses shutter to stop the spread of disease and many of the soon-to-be degree holders who don’t yet have jobs are wondering whether they should even bother looking.
