Your assumption is that if you graduate in a field of study you intend to work in that field of study. That's the context, right? In statistical terms, what you're really asking is to cross reference the employment numbers against specific fields and available number of graduates by major, then measure it against variables such as attrition, turnover, etc. compared against the number of available entrants. In addition, you couldn't just do it for graduates coming into a particular field, you'd also have to cross reference that against those people that elect not to work in their field of study and against those in the field who choose to leave their profession for something else.

The point of the stat is that college graduates no matter what their chosen field or if they even have one stand a statistically far greater chance of employment than not. Inasmuch as NBA draft entrants probably to a guy do not have a degree their chances of employment in the league or after are statistically far inferior.
