I don't think anecdotal evidence or non-controlled studies are useless, but they do have their limitations. In this case, though, the original article is laughably bad. To quote: "As a scientist, I had already been gathering data about that question. Each time I was rejected from a job, I asked the companies for reasons." From this "data" the conclusion was made that there exists some sort of "Ph.D.-industry gap".
