<p>I never said they won’t be affected; learn to read what was claimed. Implicit in my post about shrinking classes in order to have people start on time was the notion that hiring would be tougher because of the fewer number of spots. However, in terms of jobs starting on time, I think this is a non-issue for the class of 2011 and beyond.</p>
<p>If firms really still cannot accommodate the people:
a) The firm will probably sooner revoke offers from their current incoming associates. Firms have already pretty much started to do this (and, in their eyes, it’s their way of “trading up”).
b) The firm probably has bigger problems. I’d put it on my “dissolution watch” asap.</p>
