68.8

What do you think about this number "68.8"?


It's the percentage of Japanese college graduates who found their job, which estimated in December. According to some news sources, it's the worst record since 1996. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare started to estimate this rate in 1996.


In Japan, almost every college students start to their job hunting in winter of third year. Most of people get their job offer until fourth year summer vacation. I don't know much about college students' job hunt in foreign countries, but my friend told me that it's a little different. If you know about this, please tell me about this.


Anyway, most of people think it's crazy because more than 30% of college students, who will graduate college next March couldn't get job offer yet. What do you think? Is it too many, or not so?


Thank you
