    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”).

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.

Curious how many are OPT or CPT visa students.
