As of October 1, only 52.6% of university students expected to graduate in the spring have found post-graduate employment, according to surveys by the education and health ministries. While this is a 1.1 percentage point improvement from the previous year after two straight years of declines, it is the lowest rate for the six national blocs. The national rate is 59.9%, the second lowest ratio since statistics were first kept in 1996.
