Increasing number of NUS/NTU grads can't find full time perm employment?

---

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->I was taking a look at the new graduate employment statistics (http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/post-secondary/) for 2010 and realised that there is an awful lot of NUS/NTU grads who can't find full time perm employment:

Course, % with full time perm employment
(I've only listed courses with % below 75)

2010
NUS Arts 73.7
NUS Applied Science 62.5
NUS Science 71.4
NTU Art, Design & Media 60.4
NTU English Literature 72.5
NTU Chemistry & Biological Chemistry 74.8
NTU Physics 73.7
(Definition: Full-time permanent employment refers to employment of at least 35 hours a week and where the employment is not temporary. It includes those on contracts of one year or more.

2009
NUS Computing (Communication and Media) 70.8
NUS Environmental Engineering 63.2
NTU Art, Design & Media 61.7
(Definition: Full-time permanent employment refers to employment of at least 35 hours a week and where the employment is not temporary. It includes those on contracts of one year or more.)

2008
None below 75%
(Definition: Full-time permanent employment refers to employment of at least 30 hours a week and where the employment is not temporary. It includes those on contracts of one year or more.)

Isn't it very troubling that there are some courses where 1 in 4 students can't find a full time perm employment? If there is no demand from the industry, shouldn't universities be limiting their intake? Or is the career services department in the universities not putting in enough work to train these students? Is there something I'm missing here? Are companies taking the easy way out and hiring part-timers or offering short contracts only?

Are companies taking the easy way out and hiring part-timers or offering short contracts only?

Might be the reason depending on industry. Makes sense to bring in people on project, and also contract staff are cheaper as they are not entitled to full benefits.

What are the remaining 40% working as now? Telemarketing positions taken up by Pinoys, Retail positions taken up by PRCs, Hard labor taken by Banglas. Still got porridge left for them?
