Unemployment for recent graduates of the University by major

The unemployment rate of graduates is half of people with only a high school diploma.

But that does not mean recent college graduates have not struggled to find work. Do therefore what older fighting over?

A study of may 2013 from the center of Georgetown University in education and the work force shows that students who studied architecture have a high rate of 12.8 percent unemployment among recent graduates, defined as those between the ages of 22 and 26 degrees. Older history and graphic design are doing a little better, with recent graduates about 10 percent unemployment.

While those who were higher in primary education, have a 5 percent unemployment rate among the graduates, the study found, and students who studied agriculture and health sciences have an unemployment level even lower, very below the national average. The overall unemployment rate for recent graduates, according to the study, is 7.9 percent.

However, it should be noted that graduates often have a more difficult time finding employment in their field.

Half of the graduates are jobs which do not require a degree, according to a study by the Center for College profitability and productivity, released in January.

But in 2000, before the economy fell into a recession, the proportion of graduates who were unemployed or underemployed hit an all-time low of 41 per cent.
