Nearly 60% of Last Year's Graduates Still Haven't Landed Their First Job (yahoo.com)

Survey is from May, so even dumber.

Of course many people who have been graduates for less than a month are still looking for jobs.

These numbers are useless without a trendline.


I found their wording of "earlier" to be awkward.

>> The first included students about to graduate, recent graduates, and those who have been working for less than a year (referred to as “fresh graduates”).

>> The second group consisted of people with more than a year of work experience, regardless of when they graduated (referred to as “earlier graduates”).

This survey is from a resume site of 1000 people roughly. A resume site is obviously going to target a majority of people in the job hunt. Additionally it was done in May around graduation time.

Based on a survey by some outfit called "Kickresume." Couldn't find many details on the methodoloy.

They got links to their website though

Curious how many are OPT or CPT visa students.
