Overall, full-time employment was by far the most common outcome for graduates, and after five years, those working in government and freelance consultancy tended to earn the highest salaries.
According to the pie chart, just over half of anthropology graduates (52%) entered full-time work. Part-time employment accounted for 15%, while 12% pursued full-time postgraduate study. Smaller proportions were unemployed (8%) or combined part-time work with further study (5%), and outcomes for the remaining 8% were not known.
Turning to salaries after five years, government sector employees were the highest earners, with 50% receiving $100,000 or more. Freelance consultants also performed well financially, as 40% earned at least $100,000. By contrast, those working in private companies were more likely to earn mid-range salaries, with the largest proportion (35%) falling into the $50,000-$74,999 bracket.
