[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the NY Times article: "A January 2012 analysis from the Georgetown center found 7.5 percent unemployment for engineering graduates and 8.2 percent among computer scientists."[/quote] Sure, but how does that compare to rates for all graduates? According to the BLS: [quote] In October 2011, the unemployment rate for 20- to 29-year-olds who had graduated from college in 2011 was 12.6 percent. The rate was 13.5 percent for those who recently had earned bachelor’s degrees and 8.6 percent for those who recently had earned advanced degrees. Despite modest improvement since the most recent peak in October 2009, the unemployment rates of recent college graduates remained above the rates prior to the 2007–2009 recession.[/quote] So 7.5 or 8.2 percent unemployment with a bachelor's in CS or engineering is a big improvement over 13.5 percent overall unemployment for all graduates.
