The 'least employable' comment might be a little unfair. I think these statistics reveal the fact that the job market out there is harsh more than graduate employability.

It's not surprising to see subjects like Medicine and Education having 100% success because they're jobs (mostly) supported and funded by the government for public services

Agreed. Programmers haven't been as effective as professionals in other occupations in pushing for "stimulus" jobs. (That may be to their moral credit, but more likely it's out of agoraphobia.)

Still, with the media throwing around words like "cyberwar" and "cybeerinfrastructure," you can get that there'll be more programmers in the public sector soon.

Cybeerinfrastructure ... Nice slip on a friday night. I wish there'd be more committed open source devs funded by government ... Makes total sense for the infrastructure projects gov seems to be wanting to push.

Although in all fairness I'd want to know how much employment the City shed (the U.K.'s Wall Street).
