I’d be interested to see how stats from this year would compare.
I definitely agree that scaremongering in the media does not help graduates. A lack of confidence or drive will be a huge hindrance in finding your dream graduate job so instead graduates should stay pro-active, do their research, take the advice of graduate recruiters and be patient!

Nor do I believe that the majority of employers are so lofty as to demand a 2:1 at the minimum.

My sister graduated with a 2:2 in a subject looked down on by academia. And she was told to give up on the idea of graduate careers, that she’d wasted three years of her life. Good thing she didn’t listen, seeing as she found a graduate position that she loved within a few months.

Patience and determination still pay off. So does ignoring the media.
