The University of Hong Kong Graduate Employment Survey, 2008

( Bachelor's Degrees )

I. Introduction

I. 1. The Graduate Employment Survey is conducted annually to collect information on the employment destinations of the current year’s graduates.

I. 2. This annual survey was conducted from October 2008 to March 2009 via different means. Email invitation to complete a web-based questionnaire was sent to graduates. During the gown collection period in October and November, the graduates were interviewed outside the gown collection counter. Those graduates who did not reply were interviewed on the telephone. Through the above means, information was obtained from 2,572 graduates, representing 92% of the graduating population of 2,804.

I. 3. The situation reported by the respondents is as it was in December 2008 or six months after graduation and covers all full-time Bachelor's Degree graduates. Degree programmes are classified into ten Faculties, namely: Architecture, Arts, Business and Economics, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Science and Social Sciences.

I. 4. In the appendices, readers will find information on:

. employment situations;

. distribution by employment sector;

. distribution by occupation;

. monthly income by employment sector;

. monthly income by occupation;

. major occupations by Faculty; and

. monthly income by Faculty.

I. 5. Other information, such as job satisfaction, relevance of work to study, further study and detailed information about the situation of graduates in specific study programmes, is not presented here but is available on request.

II. Situation in 2008

II. 1. Unemployment rate stayed steady at 0.2% in 2006 and 2007 and then increased to 0.6% in 2008.

II. 2. Out of the 15 unemployed graduates, 5 graduates had in fact been successful in

securing a job offer but declined to accept, or resigned from the post, to await better opportunities. Hence, the real unemployment rate is only 0.4%, or 10 persons.

II. 3. The graduates pursuing further studies decreased by around 1 percentage point (from

19% in 2007 to 18% in 2008). II. 4. Percentage of graduates successfully secured employment decreased from 81% in

2007 to 80% in 2008. II. 5. Median monthly gross income increased by 12% from $13,000 in 2007 to $14,583 in

2008. II. 6. Commerce and industry continued to be the largest employment sector.
