I cannot provide a definitive answer to this question without conducting a thorough study and analysis. However, it is important to note that joblessness among graduates is not exclusive to Harvard or any other prestigious university. It is a widespread issue that is influenced by various factors such as the current job market, individual qualifications, and personal circumstances.

While attending Harvard or any other top university may provide graduates with certain advantages in the job market, it is not a guarantee of employment. Graduates from these institutions still have to compete with other highly qualified individuals for job opportunities. Additionally, the value of a Harvard education extends beyond just securing a job. It also includes the knowledge, skills, and connections gained during their time at the university.

Furthermore, joblessness among graduates is not always a reflection of their qualifications or the quality of their education. Economic downturns, changes in industries, and other external factors can also contribute to the difficulty of finding employment.

In conclusion, it is not fair to assume that all graduates from Harvard or any other prestigious university will automatically have job opportunities. However, the value of attending these institutions goes beyond just job prospects and can greatly benefit individuals in their personal and professional development.
