An study released Wednesday said university graduates increasingly are finding their training useless and being forced to take jobs "below" their qualifications. This in turn sets off a chain reaction throughout the employment market, forcing other workers into lower categories, the report said. It said the situation was unlikely to change in the near future and estimated that in the United States alone, a total of 420,000 graduates with doctors degrees would enter the employment market by 1985, competing for some 200,000 ble openings.
