The Sunday Independent today carries a report that “ONE in two Irish graduates from the class of 2003 are still seeking employment or have had to continue with their education”, in contrast to UK figures
which showed that “one in three graduates from the class of 2003 were still seeking gainful employment”. Do these figures reflect badly on Ireland’s education system or are they a sign that all is not well in Ireland’s economy and job-market?
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported.
