I've been reluctant to respond here because I had no trouble finding a job when I graduated in 2009. And, just found out last week that my county renewed my contract for 2010-2011. I do teach special ed which I know had something to do with it.
Anyway, I was going to say--I'm pretty sure that now, under a new law (it may be the new health care bill), that a dependent can stay on the parent's insurance as long as they are unemployed or in school until they are 26. My parents looked into it last summer because if I lapse, I'll never get coverage again. Have your folks call their companies, but I would bet that is the case.
Best of luck! And, keep us posted!
