<p>Any anecdotes or links to published data?</p>
<p>I graduated last spring and am in grad school now. Anecdotally, I can say that all of my friends who were looking for jobs (i.e. not going to grad school or doing something else) ended up finding something reasonable, although people were definitely stressing out about it towards the end of the year. Not everyone got their dream job (which is to be expected for kids coming straight out of college) but I think most people did pretty well.</p>
