1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed

According to Hope Yen of the Associated Press, and reported by Yahoo Finance:

Nationally “about 1.5 million, or 53.6 percent, of bachelor’s degree-holders under the age of 25 last year were jobless or underemployed, the highest share in at least 11 years.”

Usually not one without words, but…wow.

This is at the same time when 451,657 North Carolinians are also unemployed (NC Employment Securities Division).
