I graduated over a 1yr+1/2 ago with an environmental-related bachelor's and certificate that I was explicitly told would make me very employable. Since graduation, I have sent out job applications (1-4 depending on offerings) every day. I have only ever received one reply to an interview that, by the end of it, was very clear they wanted to hire internally. Other than that, I have been nothing but dono-walled. At this point, all job postings might as well be some schizophrenic delusion since they're about as real.
I should mention that many of my friends graduated at a similar time with more or less equal levels of schooling. Of those friends, zero have been able to get jobs.
