A current issue that is being handled based on false assumptions relates to the unemployment rate of recent college graduates. It is assumed that the reason that these students cannot find jobs is that there are not a lot of jobs for these kids as they are entering the workplace. While it is true that there are not a large amount of jobs in the specific major and salary that the students are looking for and this is the main problem. These students are becoming more and more unwilling to accept lower jobs right out of college because they ‘deserve’ the higher paying jobs right away. If more college grads were willing to take these lower paying jobs, the unemployment rates of recent graduates would be much higher than it appears.
