The situation certainly has gravity.

Faltering Economy in China Dims Job Prospects for Graduates

'A record seven million students will graduate from universities and colleges across China in the coming weeks, but their job prospects appear bleak — the latest sign of a troubled Chinese economy.
...
Lu Mai, the secretary general of the elite, government-backed China Development Research Foundation, acknowledged in a speech this month that less than half of this year's graduates had found jobs so far.

Graduating seniors at all but a few of China's top universities say that very few people they know are finding jobs — and that those who did receive offers over the winter were seeing them rescinded as the economy has weakened in recent weeks.
...
A national survey released last winter found that in the age bracket of 21- to 25-year-olds, 16 percent of the men and women with college degrees were unemployed.

But only 4 percent of those with an elementary school education were unemployed, a sign of voracious corporate demand persisting for blue-collar workers. Wages for workers who have come in from rural areas to urban factories have surged 70 percent in the last four years; wages for young people in white-collar sectors have barely stayed steady or have even declined.'

From what I hear there is a huge fluctuation among white collar workers in international corporations in China. When employee retention is low, you have to wonder whether it makes sense to hire someone and train him instead of just getting a consultant to do the job.

NYU degrees are pretty useless...:hmm:

People don't go to NYU to get jobs.  People go to NYU because their dad is rich and they want to party in New York.
