It will be interesting to see what the actual attrition rate will be after this time of uncertainty (will it be much worse than the usual numbers?)and what percentage of graduates actually succeed in getting a job once finishing university.
The reason im saying this is that I remember at TAG last christmas, numbers quoted (for number of archaeologists to be out of work by Easter) was 40 - 50%. We know through the IFA polls that it has been 16% - still a very large number and potentially a large lost of skill - but not near the numbers quoted at Christmas.
