But the companies complaining about shortages (microsoft, facebook, etc...) are the same ones who are willing to hire new grads.

Companies tend to have special intake systems for college graduates. Plus, a new grad shouldn't be totally clueless in terms of how to work in an office; they should have had at least one internship.

In my experience, it's because companies don't want to pay to train somebody in all the basics of office work. New grads (especially STEM grads) don't know how to run a meeting, write a status report, or do a thousand other things that a modern company requires. Instead they list job openings for two or three years of experience and hope to profit off of somebody else's investment.
