I think it means the rate of supply of new available jobs for these grads is low, so it takes longer to get a job. And I think the provided data shows that - which is why the CIRR time to job was extended to 12 months.

But why is it taking longer just because supply is low. I reiterate, If there's nothing that codesmith can do about this because of the market, then they shouldn't exist right now So I'm trying to open the door for them to be able to do something within their control to produce the placement numbers that could justify paying $22,000 for. If they've made all the changes they can and they don't think there's anything else then they're done right? Their CEO is off writing a book about ai and inequality and doesn't seem interested to be spending 12 hours a day on the ground with every single alumni helping them in whatever way they can. So maybe that's a sign that they've tried everything they can and these are the best the results are going to be and if that's the case, they're not good enough to justify their existence right now or at least their cost.
