Entry-level jobs requiring university degrees not keeping up with graduation numbers: StatCan

December 15, 2017

The number of private sector entry-level jobs in Canada requiring a university degree is nowhere near the number of university students graduating each year, according to recent StatCan data. While the data suggest that those with university degrees earn more than their peers, they also show that there were only 14,000 entry-level jobs in Canada requiring a university degree in 2016. In comparison, the number of university graduates that year was 250,000. The data also show that as jobs require more experience, they tend to require higher levels of educational attainment. Global News
