I suspect the mentality started to shift after the '08 crises. But I know quite a few undergraduate "business" majors who weren't able to find remunerative work from that era.
There’s a lot of hidden correlations in that stat.
It’s almost certain that it includes individuals who went on to get MBAs which open big doors in terms of compensation. Would love to see how this stat breaks down by cohort.
