Today's college grads have it tough. The unemployment rate for students with a new bachelor's degree is 8.9% — which is pretty on-par with the rest of the nation.

Those with a GED have it even tougher, with an unemployment rate of 22.9%.

The unemployment rate for architecture majors is the highest at 13.9%, followed by arts majors (11.1%) and humanities and liberal arts majors (9.4%).
