I don't have historical data but, anecdotally, from my current company's (smaller, though very well known) hiring practices I would not want to be a new graduate. The HR filter currently applied basically means we end up only interviewing foreign masters students from large state universities in the south. We aren't doing anything that requires a masters, the interview for our entry level positions focus purely on fundamental bachelor level CS proficiency. I'm not sure why this is but I know if it were 8 years ago my resume would never have made it through the HR filter.
