FWIW, when I read it, I took "experience" as a semi-qualitative measure, 
more than just "time since graduation."

Hence someone out of school only three months could have more 
"experience", than someone who has worked for ten years, if the recent 
grad has been heavily involved in pre-graduation projects (e.g. open 
source), or if the ten-year veteran has done nothing constructive with 
his time, besides raking in a paycheck.
