Yahoo education? With the Univ. of Phoenix as the sponsor?

I would offer the following links for information that I think is more
accurate. Of note, agricultural production & mgt. majors have some of the
lowest rates of unemployment in the nation (3%).  This is consistent with
our experiences where we have an abundance of jobs available for our
graduates but not enough graduates to fill them, not even close.

Another example that we are alert to in the SWES Dept.: Environmental
Science graduates are still quite employable and these listings are
consistent with that experience base.
