Hmm, I'm not sure I believe that. At least, the statistic is designed to be alarming. The unemployment rate for those with a bachelors degree hovers between 2 and 4% - over decades.

- CalmQuiet 17y agoThanks for the useful perspective provided by that chart. To set the scene for the original story: It's from abcnews (i.e., =/= in depth analysis); it cites a few examples; rather than documenting any extended period without a job it discusses graduates who did not have jobs already secured upon graduation; it quotes complaints that people were not able to get jobs of their first choice; it is from abcnews' business section: and so may be seeking to discuss the increasing difficulties of people with traditional business degrees looking for traditional business/money-management jobs at a time when banks are being shuttered. Conclusion: headline and story are link-bait journalism (one "field" that may still have openings ;).
