This is a bias, the people you interacted with that shared their results and told you that they found a job reinforce your believe in the rate. But the reality is that often, the ones not finding opportunities do not talk about not finding opportunities. The professors I knew openly told me and our classes how the system worked. And that the majority of individuals will not find a job. There are too many new graduates to new positions. Many of them were fellows and board members of the ACM. I was active in the student group and got to know these people and the outcomes. These guys often share results and data they collect privately with other researchers. And people are failing at an alarming scale. But you won't find those people on this site, and you wouldn't because of the main demographic of this forum.
