Even so, computer science is still among the fields with the lowest reported underemployment rate. It's essentially tied for second place, after nursing, with a much higher salary.

Most of the stories you hear about difficulties getting hired are from new grads.

It would be interesting to see these per-major underemployment numbers filtered by whether someone had recently graduated.
