There are tons of articles on the "STEM shortage", but frightfully few about how to get graduates into their first job. Moving around once you've gotten a year or two under your belt is easy. I have seen lots of perfectly qualified people do other things because they couldn't get their foot in the door.
Nobody wants to foot the initial cost. "They'll just take another job elsewhere" is what I always hear, but employers never seem to recognize that junior devs choosing to move on reflects more on the employer than the dev. It's human nature to always think the issue is with someone else...
