According to a National Association of Colleges and Employers survey, just 19.7 percent of 2009 graduates who applied for a job actually have one, compared to 51 percent in 2007 and 26 percent of those graduating in 2008. Economists say this year's graduates are also facing unique challenges not only because they are dueling against the growing ranks of unemployed for work, but because they are also facing a backlog created from last year's graduates who have yet to find fulltime employment.

In February, President Obama urged all Americans to commit to a year of college, technical training, or apprenticeship. If the country complies, the economic returns could be extraordinary.

If each of them took a year's worth of college courses, their earnings would grow by an estimated $70-billion.
