MBA Student Hiring Steady
The number of graduating Harvard Business School MBA students who have received job offers at this point in the year has held largely steady despite the current financial slump, a career services official said last week.
A “flash poll” taken by the Business School’s MBA Career Services in mid-February showed that 90 percent of second-year Business School job-seekers had received offers—down just slightly from a year ago, according to Managing Director of MBA Career Services Jana P. Kierstead. Eighty-eight percent of students responded to the survey.

So 90% of the 88% responding to the survey had received job offers, i.e. at least 79% of the graduating class had a job offer in hand by mid February. While that's a strong enough showing, it isn't quite the "ZOMG! HBS placed 90% of its students even in THIS economy" the thread title seems to suggest either.
Moreover, less than half of those reporting having received offers already have accepted (down as compared to last year, but by how much the article doesn't say), so we know nothing about the quality of those job offers. One would think, that people would be happy to latch on to just about any reasonable offer in trying time such as these.
But to be fair, some other interesting tidbits from the article. You decide if everything adds up.

Sigh, you are so critical Solaris1....
Are you turning into GB?
I haven't had a cup of coffee yet so the analytical side of my brain isn't turned on.
Therefore, you win. I am not gonna even try to argue.
