More Scottish graduates find jobs at home.

Initial fears of a Scottish brain drain have been dispelled by the fact that more graduates are fiding jobs in Scotland.

The article states "In 2003, 80% of students who found jobs straight from a Scottish Univeristy did so north of the border...the proportion was 3% greater than in the pervious year and 11% more than in 1997."

The article also went on to quote Jim Wallace, the enterprise minister in relation to the 'brain drain':

"In fact the opposite is true, and the contribution of these graduates to our economy is invaluable...the proportion of students staying here shows Scotland can attract top graduates."
