Developers: In UK, Computer Science Graduates the Least Employable on Friday July 02, @05:38AM

"The BBC reports that in the UK, computer science graduates are now the least employable of students leaving with a degree, 17% of them being unable to find a job within six months of graduation. Unsurprisingly, medics, educators and lawyers do better, but even much mocked communications and creative arts graduates are finding work more easily."

I wonder why that is? Is it just that so many people are studying computer science that the market is saturated? I would still think that the industry could use people with computer science skills in all aspects of the trade, not just IT or development. Makes me wonder whether there's a similar issue happening in the USA, or do we have more start ups to employ all those recent Comp Sci grads?
