I believe it all boils down to the attitude of the graduate themselves.
For one thing, you can't blame on the education system, why? Because out of the 120k graduates who are jobless, there are many more with jobs. Most people would point to the fact that we only target towards A's in exams, but in fact it is targeting towards excellence.
With the right attitude and willingness, anyone can find a job. I guess it all depends on whether how choosy they choose to be. Do they want jobs that suit them or are they willing to step out of their own comfort zones to try out new horizons?
Why attitude? Because of their attitude in Uni was that of lack-lustre, copy off friends and lacking in initiative, they have no one else to blame but themselves. It doesn't matter which prestigious uni they can come from, as long as they have bad attitudes, they complain at the very sight of not being able to get a job.
A few examples, a uni graduate, comes out with no clue on how to write a CV. So they search online and find a couple of examples or even yet get a program to write out the whole CV for them. Then they send out their resumes straight to various companies. They don't get a reply or no answer, then they come and b**** about it in the forums. What I see is lack of research as well, did they reviewed back on their resumes and cover letters? Did they ask for opinions from other people on the content? Did they get someone to proof read their documents? Did they call back the companies and ask for feedback?
The reason why I am banging on attitude, try reading the posts here in this forum. I hardly encounter any type of posts asking questions based on their hard work, rather instead I see so many types of questions being asked without proper research done. That is the kind of attitude here, waiting for people to drop food on their plate without even trying to sing for their supper.

My take on who's/what to blame:
1- Increasing number of people flooding and aiming for the same piece of pie/field which is limited.
2- Most positions requires one to have some years of experience add that too with some advertising with insane number of skill sets one should have (A-Z). Saw such job postings in Jobstreet.
3- Our Education system in short.
4- Yeah, persona plays a significant role too
5-last but not least, choosy
