That doesn't explain why we see two or three times as many businesses at
our career fairs even than during the dot-com peak, pleading with us to
provide them with more graduates, while the number of graduates we have
to offer continues to decline.

Do you work at a university or a trade school? The idea of employers
placing orders for workers with specific training is bizarre to an
outsider.
