This seems like the most important line in the story: "About 1.5 million, or 53.6 percent, of bachelor's degree-holders under the age of 25 last year were jobless or underemployed, the highest share in at least 11 years. In 2000, the share was at a low of 41 percent, before the dot-com bust erased job gains for college graduates in the telecommunications and IT fields." Headline in 2000: "Even with incredible economic performance, nearly 1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed" Not to get in the way of the AP's narrative and everyone's self-congratulations for picking a profitable major.
