Only half? According to college review, 1.76 million students will graduate this month from colleges across the nation and we only created 163,000 jobs.

It would still be half even if the economy were booming because of the ever increasing numbers of graduates with worthless junk educations like womyn’s studies, black studies, psychology.......

My sentiments exactly, if there’s anything that irritates me about Obama, it’s his focus on trying to rejoice in his support of same-sex marriage when loads of people are struggling to find jobs and/or internships when out of work, if there’s anything that’s out of touch, it’s those statements right there.

Opportunities for college graduates vary widely.

Ya think? Those partying and taking super easy classes can't get a job using the 'skills' they've learned? Shocking!

On the other hand, I really do feel for those that have studied hard and can't get a job. How very frustrating - plus w/o utilizing what they've learned, it might be forgotten or outdated in a few years.

I can attest that getting a job today is tough, but having 25 years of experience is outlasting a Masters degree.

I work in aerospace. Recently,we brought on an intern that was between his junior and senior year of college. Showed up for his interview in coat and tie. Worked any job we asked of him and did it well. At the end of his summer internship, he had a hard job offer from us (very large aerospace company). He’s doing well now. Might be a lesson in there.

I think there’s a connection. Social liberalism always results in bigger statism/socialism which results in greater government regulations which results in bad effects on businesses which result in fewer companies and businesses hiring which results in fewer jobs available.

A weak labor market already has left half of young college graduates either jobless or underemployed in positions that don't fully use their skills and knowledge.

What skills? What knowledge?
