HALF OF RECENT UK GRADUATES STUCK IN NONGRADUATE JOBS, SAYS ONS

Almost half of recent graduates in the UK are in non-graduate jobs, according to

official data that has underscored the challenges facing young people entering the
labour market.
The proportion of recent graduates working in jobs for which a higher educational
background is not usually required was 47% this year, up sharply from 39% before the
financial crisis struck. Most of the increase has come since the 2008/9 recession,
the Office for National Statistics said.
Its report on graduates found that people with a degree in medicine or dentistry had
the highest employment rate of all graduates, at 95%, followed by those with media
and information studies degrees at 93%.
Medical graduates also had the highest median pay, at 45,600 a year but media
and information studies graduates had the lowest pay of all groups, at 21,000.
Labour market experts said the high number of recent graduates defined as those
who left full-time education in the last five years who were not in graduate jobs, was
a worrying sign for the economy.
Graduates, defined by the ONS as those leaving education with a qualification
higher than A-level, were more likely to be employed than those who left education
with qualifications of a lower standard. However, the unemployment rate for recent
graduates, at 9%, is up from 8% a year ago and well above pre-crisis rates of 5% seen
in early 2008.
The ONS said there was still evidence however that going on to higher education
can help a young person find a job, with the unemployment rate for non-graduates
aged 21 to 30 much higher than for recent graduates at 14%. Nevertheless, the details
on who is employing graduates did not bode well for their prospects, economists said.
More than 40% of graduates worked in the public administration, education and health
industry, the ONS said.
The data showed a divide between science and arts graduates when it came to
employment prospects. After medicine and media studies, the next highest
employment rates were for medical-related subjects, such as nursing or midwifery,
technology, agricultural sciences and architecture. The employment rate was lowest
for those with humanities degrees, at 84%, while arts, languages and education were
also among the lowest rates.
