Class of 2012 Buckle Up for 53.6% Unemployment
With the Great Recession still ruining careers the new crop of college graduates (and to a lessor high school graduates looking to get work for the summer) 1 in 2 will be without jobs. Some may actually qualify as being unemployed from the official designation that you are looking for work, and may have even been laid off from a prior job.
