More than meets the number


OVER the past two weeks, most of us would have read news reports claiming that 22% of fresh graduates with degrees have been earning between RM1,001 and RM1,500 per month for at least the past 10 years.

At the same time, we would have heard about Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed saying that graduates should be grateful to have jobs despite the lower pay.
