As Shiny says, the statistics in the survey are by no means comprehensive as they are limited to the members of the AGR. However, these include many of the most desirable companies to work for so the statistics make grim reading for anyone who envisaged themselves at these institutions during their degree. And in general, the statistics also are a fair indicator of the competitive nature of graduate positions in the downturn - even if they are specific to these companies - and the clear distinction made be recruiters between 2:1 and 2:2 candidates.
The only slim consolation is that the graduate market in the private sector will pick up as it will be the private sector which will see Britain return to consistent noticeable growth and become competitive again. Thus, private business will want to get ahead of their competitors by taking more graduates and greater quality ones - and overall creating more jobs for graduates as a whole. In the meantime, re-write that CV, get a decent suit, and apply to jobs by the hatful.
