The most shocking number of all is that only 17 percent of these soon-to-be grads have a job lined up, according to AfterCollege Inc., which crunches these numbers and also tries to help match employers with recent graduates. Despite our being a year further along on the road to economic recovery, this year’s 17 percent is actually down from the class of 2013’s 20 percent who had a job lined up before graduating.
ObamaCare, hope and change are interfering with jobs for new graduates?
That is unexpected. I'm shocked.
I am curious what percentage of college graduates with marketable degrees (engineering, computer science, math, science, accounting, etc) and a B average have jobs lines up. I'd guess it's a whole lot better than 17%, but even five years into Obama's recovery a whole lot worse than if FedGov would just get out of the way.

Students with STEM degrees who are going into private sector will have jobs. Whites with Liberal Arts degrees who aren’t going to law school are screwed. Everyone else with liberal arts degrees are working for the DMV or Obamacare.
