> The average time to find a new job is significantly longer

Is that really true?

They found 3.8 months which sounds realistic. I can't imagine the average being significantly longer (like 6+ months?).



From the article

> Graduates take an average of 5.6 months to land a job in the UK. This is almost 2 months longer than the national average

also noting the average includes, at the fast end,

> Job Average time to get a job (months) > Bar staff 1 > Sales assistant (retail) 1 > Waiter/waitress 1.2 > Delivery driver 1.2


It says senior engineer almost 8 months right in that article


Ok cool, but he just said the average. Not the average for senior engineers.
