Employment stats...

When you look at the starting salaries for top 20-30 US b schools, you have to be impressed. Graduates pulled down an average $90k – 100 k in salary and bonus last year.

Except that for some top ranked schools, at graduation, nearly three of every ten graduates of its full-time MBA program were unemployed.
All of the schools below had an employment of 75% or less.
UC Berkeley (Haas), Stanford, Columbia, UCLA (Anderson), Yale

On the other hand schools like Georgia Institute of Tech, Michigan (Ross) and Virginia (Darden) had surprisingly better employment rate.
I am guessing that the local recruiters are playing a major role in making the employment stats a little skew.

An interesting question should be whether an employment rate of 60% a rather good rate, given the job market is not doing really good?

The class size I guess is a clear advantage when it comes to employment. Georgia Institute of Tech seems to have that sort of advantage. With class size of 63, they have the best employment rate of almost 90%.

I hope that the data we have here only represents the full-time students. Otherwise it’s a little bit misleading.
The overall trend lines have been extremely positive. The 2011 numbers show a 4.1% growth in MBA hiring from 2010 and an 11.3% increase from 2009, according to U.S. News.
