I think they shouldn't count that 20% the survey that are in grad school. I'd be curious to know the part time workers that are looking for full time work, I mean you never know, they could be doing something else or happy with part time.

and I think they should- If finding a job wasn't working, and going back to school was an option, then I know what I would do... Just because they aren't sitting on their parents couch does not mean that the failing job market has not affected them

First Story: College grads from between '06 and '011 have suffered through bad job markets, so bad that about half aren't working full-time at the moment, even though at some point many were.

Second Story: College grads from '012 likely won't start off on a bad footing the way grads from recent years did.


no contradiction here, the basic idea is "the job market has been bad for years and only now has saliently improved"
