Can you find the dicipline bias?

"Doctors on the dole? Graduating into unemployment is a disturbingly common
experience for new Ph.D.s. Unemployment rates in 1997 reached 8.8% and 7%,
respectively, for obviously useless subjects like English and political
science. But they are surprisingly high as well for hard sciences like
biochemistry and computer science (4% and 2.4%, respectively)."
