Students think finding a job 'is impossible', survey finds
Half of university students think finding a job they like will be either ‘challenging’ or 'impossible' as pessimism doubles in two years
Half of university students think finding a job they like will be either
‘challenging’ or 'impossible' as pessimism doubles in two years due to effects
of financial crisis, a new survey finds.
Two years ago, 23 per cent of those surveyed felt it was “challenging”
to get a job versus 40 per cent this year. Separately, in 2013, 2 per cent said
it was “impossible” to get a job compared to 8 per cent in 2015.
Conducted by the National Union of Students’ Services Research
Department, the Unite Students Insight Report surveyed over 8,500 university
applicants, students and postgraduates
Jenny Shaw, Unite Students head of Higher Education engagement and
student services, said: “Students in 2015 have grown up through the financial
crisis and many have seen the effect on their families.
“Despite the rise in job concerns, getting a degree is still great
protection against unemployment.”
