To: H-1B/L-1/offshoring e-newsletter Fri May 9 14:28:55 PDT 2014 A number of people commented on my posting of yesterday, http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/Archive/NewSTEMGrads.txt A survey had found that 81.6% of new grads in engineering, technology and math did not have a job lined up by April, just weeks away from graduation. Some people wondered about the methodology in the survey, and I wondered this aloud too in my posting. After all, I've often stated here that, at least in the case of computer science (which IS a very special case), the job market for new grads appeared to be fairly strong; it is those over 35 that find the job market to be challenging. Well, I am obtaining a copy of the survey report, and will discuss it here in the next few days. I'll also bring up a number of other related issues that I didn't have time for yesterday (I made the posting just before I left for the airport).
