  the few places that are attractive. A graduate of pretty much any degree working in Hull in pretty much any job is not attractive. They would earn far more in other countries, and earn little more than a minimum wage school dropout. A graduate working in fintech in London is fine, but they are subsidising the rest of the country and bring up the "graduate salary" and "total earnings" across the board. The problem isn't the lack of graduates, its the lack of well paid jobs. We don't value an educated workforce (which is at a similar level to France, the US, Ireland, Australia etc)
