| Comment | I think this is true in terms of employment within the specific field of study; I think it's absolutely untrue to extrapolate this to the general employability of people with PhDs. You might not get your dream research job, but that doesn't at all make you unemployable. At worst it's of no benefit, and you're still a graduate with a decent first degree or masters.
The unemployment rate for PhDs is somewhere around 1%. |
