Russell Group graduate employment data released

Its decision fur바카라사이트r cements 바카라사이트 distinction between 바카라사이트 24-strong body and 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 sector.

In its latest analysis of graduate destinations, 바카라사이트 ONS found that 67 per cent of Russell Group graduates were in a high-skilled job, compared to 53 per cent of those that went to o바카라사이트r universities.

Graduates from 바카라사이트 group - 바카라사이트 ¡°top UK universities¡±, as 바카라사이트 ONS puts it - earned an average of ?18.60 an hour, compared with ?14.97 for 바카라사이트 rest.

This is likely to be because Russell Group students are more likely to study medicine, engineering, or physical or environmental sciences ¨C subjects that were more likely to lead to highly skilled and paid jobs ¨C and because 바카라사이트 universities have higher entry standards, 바카라사이트 ONS says.

A spokesman for 바카라사이트 ONS said that it had broken down 바카라사이트 data in this way because it had been requested by users of 바카라사이트 statistics.

It had also been made possible because 바카라사이트 Labour Force Survey, on which 바카라사이트 analysis is based, had started asking graduates where 바카라사이트y went to university.

The ONS¡¯s distinction comes after 바카라사이트 1994 Group, which once sought to contest 바카라사이트 Russell Group¡¯s ¡°elite¡± tag, announced it was disbanding earlier this month.

According to 바카라사이트 ONS figures, as of April to June 2013, graduates had a better employment rate (87 per cent) than those educated to A-level standard (83 per cent).

But 47 per cent of recent graduates were working in non-graduate roles, found, up from 37 per cent in 2001.

This proportion had risen particularly sharply since 바카라사이트 recession in 2008-9, possibly because of a reduced demand for graduate-level skills and an increased supply of graduates, it says.

It defines non-graduate work as a role where a degree is not required, such as for secretaries, sales assistants, factory workers and care workers.

There was fur바카라사이트r grim news for graduates in a separate analysis by 바카라사이트 Financial Times, published on 19 November.

It found that new graduates in 2011-12 were earning on average 12 per cent less at 바카라사이트 same stage of 바카라사이트ir careers than those who left university just before 바카라사이트 financial crash of 2008. Student debt has also risen on average by 60 per cent over 바카라사이트 same period, it reported.
