#Graduates in work but earning less Graduates in England have seen a fall in their median salary of more than £1, 000 in the past five years, according to official statistics.
But more are in work than at any time since 2007, suggests Department for Business, Innovation and Skills data.
And graduates still earn almost £10, 000 a year more than people without degrees-though the highest earners are those with postgraduate qualifications.
graduates typically earned £31, 200, while non-graduates were paid £22, 100, a gap of £9, 100.
But in the same period of 2010, graduates typically earned £32, 396, some £1, 196 more than they do now.
There was better news for those with postgraduate qualifications, whose median salaries rose from £37, 180 to £39, 000 during the past five years,
as well as for non-graduates, whose median salaries went up from £20, 800 to £22, 100, according to the figures.
Some 87.5%of working-age graduates were employed during the three months to March-the highest proportion since the end of 2007
%This compares with an employment rate of 69.3%for non-graduates. The figures also suggest an improving employment market for graduates aged between 21 and 30, with only 3. 9%unemployed, again the lowest for this time of year since 2007,
when it was 3. 5%."Making the leap from university to the'real world'of work is becoming easier,
and graduate employment has recovered now to 2007 levels, "said Andrew Hunter, of recruitment company Adzuna."
with fewer university leavers stuck in limbo between education and work.""After years of stalemate, with fewer employees moving up or moving out of their positions,
"However, TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said the overall prospects of young graduates were worsening."
"While university leavers are paid still better and more likely to have a job than non-graduates of the same age,
today's figures show their prospects are worsening, just as their debts are said soaring, "she.""Many graduates are now finding themselves doing lower-skilled, lower-paid jobs."
"This is in turn pushing young people who don't have a degree out of work altogether.""A spokeswoman for the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills described the figures as"great news for the UK economy"."
""These results demonstrate how higher education is an excellent option for people of all ages seeking to gain employment and a rewarding career,
"Working-age graduates still benefit from a significant earnings premium of, on average, £9, 000 per year over non-graduates."
"The spokeswoman said higher education was not for everyone, but there were thousands of apprenticeships and courses in further education also leading to"many exciting careers prospects"r
