To provide a counter perspective, even if you consider that the un-employable majority would be 90% (highly unlikely), the remaining 10% equal the total number of engineering graduates from US and that is if you consider that entire 100% graduating out of American colleges are employable.

If you look at this study: http://www.engineeringuk.com/_resources/documents/Engineerin....

A McKinsey study found that only 10% of Chinese engineering graduates were employable, versus 80% of American and German ones.

A Duke study found that the number for the U.S. was more like 130,000 engineers with bachelors degrees. If 80% are employable, that's a larger number than for either India or China.
