  "account": "A recent report shows that many university graduates in Switzerland struggle to find employment, particularly those with degrees in economics. According to the Federal Statistical Office, 8.5% of master's graduates in economics were jobless a year after graduation, with some universities faring worse than others. The University of Geneva had the highest rate of unemployment at 17.3%, while the University of St. Gallen had a much lower rate of 2.7%. The University of St. Gallen, known for its selective admissions process, attributes its graduates' success to its rigorous academic standards.",
