UK: Almost 90% of graduates from 2009 are employed
Despite the recession, nine out of ten UK graduates from 2008-2009 were employed three and a half years later, reports The Guardian. The figures come from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), which surveyed more than 60,000 graduates. Only 3.2% were unemployed, compared with the general unemployment rate of 7.8%. The chief executive of the vice-chancellors group Universities UK, Nicola Dandridge, said: “Graduates from UK universities are in demand from employers, both here and overseas, and are more likely to be employed and earn more than non-graduates over a working lifetime.”
