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.

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”).

Curious how many are OPT or CPT visa students.
