This article reviews literature about unemployment and possible ways to reduce it among youths completing universities and colleges in Tanzania. The article argues that since God is the first worker with agriculture at the Garden of Eden and ordered humanity to engage in work with the Garden to till and keep it, Tanzania can reduce the unemployment status to a minimum a level as possible if available resources for self-employment are used effectively, including engagement into agricultural activities. This means that the fight for unemployment among graduates in Tanzania can hardly be limited to the creation of white-collar jobs rather than encouraging graduates to create entrepreneurial activities for self-employment.
