With the unemployment rate still high in the country, a lot of college graduates are not having a lot of luck with the job search. The US unemployment rate is more than 9%, but for those with a graduate degree, it falls to less than 2%. Utica College hosted a graduate fair for its students interested in attending grad programs. Students we spoke with feel that at this point, getting a graduate degree gives them an edge. "You really can't find any jobs these days," Utica College student Denise Mikula says, "I'm going to need the highest degree I can get to get the best job." Graduate school representatives said they've seen a definite increase in the number of applicants over the past few years.
