Inc. Found As Many As 85 Percent Of New Graduates Are Coming
Home.” (Daniel Novick, “Poll:

OBAMA’S FAILURE TO
DELIVER ON JOBS IS FORCING
A GENERATION OF COLLEGE GRADS BACK HOME
“Even For College
Graduates — The People Who Were Most Protected From The Slings And Arrows Of
Recession — The Outlook Is Rather Bleak.” (Catherine Rampell, “Many With New College Degrees
Find Job Market Humbling,” The New York
Times,
5/19/11)
For College Graduates,
Jobs Are Becoming Scarcer And Salaries Are Falling Lower. “Employment rates
for new college graduates have fallen sharply in the last two years, as have
starting salaries for those who can find work. What’s more, only half of the
jobs landed by these new graduates even require a college degree, reviving
debates about whether higher education is ‘worth it’ after
all.”
(Catherine Rampell, “Many With New College Degrees
Find Job Market Humbling,” The New York
Times,

Employment Rates For The
Class Of 2010 Has Fallen To 56 Percent From 90 Percent For The Class Of
2006-07. “Of course, these are the lucky ones — the graduates who found a
job. Among the members of the class of 2010, just 56 percent had held at least
one job by this spring, when the survey was conducted. That compares with 90
percent of graduates from the classes of 2006 and 2007.” (Catherine Rampell, “Many With New College Degrees
Find Job Market Humbling,” The New York
Times,
5/19/11)
Starting Salaries For
Recent Graduate Have Declined 10 Percent Compared To Just A Few Years Ago.
“The median starting salary for students graduating from four-year colleges in
2009 and 2010 was $27,000, down from $30,000 for those who entered the work
force in 2006 to 2008, according to a study released on Wednesday by the John J.
Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. That is a
decline of 10 percent, even before taking inflation into account.”
(Catherine Rampell, “Many With New College Degrees

In 2010, The Unemployment
Rate For Young College Graduates Was At An All-Time High. “Last year, the
unemployment rate for college graduates age 24 and younger rose to 9.4%, the
highest since the Labor Department began keeping records in
1985.”
