Recent Grads Find Jobs

Editor and Publisher reports that, even in an uncertain economy and with significant layouts throughout the media, recent journalism grads are, indeed, finding satisfying jobs.   The story reports data from a University of Georgia study that indicates a healthy job market for newbies.   I am wondering who is studying how well more seasoned folks are doing--those in their 40s and 50s.  Are media cuts hitting them harder? Anecdotal evidence points to a resounding "yes" to that question.   Does anybody know of hard numbers on that?
