Yes, really. That's an interesting link, thanks. But to be honest, I don't find the stat surprising. I spent a term studying CS at Surrey in 2004 - I couldn't immediately find the 2004 rankings but it ranked 8th for CS in 2008:
That first term consisted of multiple choice exams in C and HTML, where one of the questions didn't have a correct answer.
In short, I sadly don't think that any lines can be drawn between 17% unemployment of CS graduates and a supply of great available talent.
Speaking as someone who's processed 200+ applications and hired 7 engineers in London the past 2 years, sharing stories with my colleagues at other companies - great talent is very hard to find.
