Actress Juliana Marguiles helped welcome more than 400 Sarah Lawrence College graduates to the "real world" today as new unemployment numbers suggest they are facing one of the worst job markets in recent months.

Unemployment numbers released today show the highest spike in unemployment in the last three months. Graduates today said that the news will not affect their plans to succeed.

"I was never really looking to make a ton of money right after graduating college," says graduate Nichki Carangelo. "If anything, I think we're better off because we're starting poor."
