All data comes from First Destination Surveys or DLHE data six months after graduation. Mostly taken the old-fashioned way, from books.

Very interesting to see that the current economic crisis didn't result in the heights shown in the peaks of unemployment in 81/82 and 91/92. It is worrying though, that unemployment seems to have reached a plateau. We're 'technically' in a double dip recession now. Hope we don't see another peak next year...
No, they didn't/haven't got as high this time around as in the past, for reasons I've discussed elsewhere on the blog (different employer behaviour, different jobs market).
We'll have to see what happens over the next few months, but at this stage it doesn't look as if we're likely to get over 10%, as employers still say they intend to hire. That might change, of course.
