How do new grads fit into the job world if they don't have 1-2 years in their field? Most internships are only 6 months at most....

Get 4 of them one after the other.
If they didn't get enough candidates they would lower the requirements, but if they do you just have to sell yourself if you want in. Don't always belive what's in the ad.

First of all, in a tough job market, the requirements will be higher based on supply and demand. Because there are more applicants applying a company is in the employer's market so they can pick and choose.
Without knowing the details of each company and the type of work, the reason may be that traditional college graduates have very practical work experience and unfortunately most textbooks are written by people that have no concept of the real work world. So the problem becomes that graduates come out of school not understanding some of the nuances of the professional work environment, which is why they want that experience.
However, even with that being said, my suggestion to you is, even if the ad states 1-2 years experience go ahead and apply anyway. The worst that will happen is that they will pick someone else. But if you don't apply, you have no chance of getting the job. It might be done just as a way to screen out applicants.
Good luck to you.

Most of the job requirements are written up by the Human resource department. Apply anyway. When you talk to the head of the department, it usually changes.

Depends on the industry selected. Tough question to answer, without knowing more. Rule of thumb, ask someone who is already in that industry.

well if you make it to the interview just tell them that you've learnt more in your 6 months that makes it worth 1-2 yrs experience..and prove it.

its just a qualifications standard. but it your employer wanted a fresh graduate with his own liking or choice. then you can oppose?
