I think this statistic is more a function of these kids being "recent" grads, and therefore looking for their 1st job at a time when nobody is hiring, in fact most companies are laying people off.
I imagine the unemployment statistics for "recent high school dropouts" is pretty bad too. 
Here's an interesting graph for you.

Of course the majority of people with education will be better off, but still does not make them a better worker...they are just qualified. Most kids in college are drunk on drugs and catching std's these days anyway. When I work with some of these kids they seem to lack basic common sense...but know some math equation that they will never use throughout life.
I regret only 1 thing in my life and that is not going to college, and at 42 it still crosses my mind.
