Is/are they suggesting that 60% of the workforce in London are graduates? I'd be surprised that that's the case.

Are they suggesting that 60% of the workforce in London are graduates? Is that currently the case?

Though it may be that because of the expense of living in London, only well paid graduates can manage to exist there.

It would be interesting to see the relative poverty of the 40% of non graduates in London.
ETA If the 40% non graduates are managing on an average income that's only 70% of graduates, that's going to have a pretty harsh run-in.

If graduates are doing non-graduate jobs in London and still getting a salary boost, pity the poor non graduates doing the same jobs without the boost.
