Turbulent college landscape - James Sprague, News Record

The class of 2011 may end up celebrating their graduation entering an uncertain job market with the highest amount of student debt in history, according to recent reports. Only 53 percent of graduates from the class of 2010 have full-time jobs, according to a survey released Wednesday by the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. The percentage is a steep decline from the classes of 2006 and 2007, of which 90 percent of respondents had full-time jobs, according to the survey "Unfulfilled Expectations: Recent College Graduates Struggle in a Troubled Economy."
