From the OC Register:
For a class of graduating seniors that has had the economic downturn weighing on
them since they started college, the latest U.S. jobs numbers are simply a reminder

"Pretty much it's come to the point where I know the job market is pretty bad," said

jobs in public policy and politics. "But the network I picked up at UC Irvine and
D.C. has really helped me find leads on jobs."
