Graduates 'earning more than ever'

New research has revealed that people who graduated in 2006 are experiencing the lowest level of unemployment for a number of years.

The Higher Education Careers Services Unit's (Hecsu) What Do Graduates Do? report found that first degree graduates from 2006 have seen a six per cent rate of unemployment, Onrec.com reports.

Noting that unemployment was at its lowest rate since 2000, Hecsu also highlighted that average starting salaries for graduates have risen.

According to the news provider, Mike Hill, chief executive of Hecsu, said that the findings of the report offered a "positive picture" of graduate career prospects.

"We have record numbers of graduates successfully pursuing a wide variety of career options, not necessarily related to their degrees, with big gains across many subject areas," he remarked.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency recently reported that graduates leaving university with the lowest degree classifications are approximately 2.5 times more likely to be unemployed six months following their graduation than those who achieved firsts.
