The pie chart illustrates the destinations of anthropology graduates after completing their courses, while the accompanying table displays their wages five years later. Overall, it is evident that nearly half of the graduates secure full-time employment. Interestingly, about one-tenth remain unemployed, and those working in the government sector earn the highest salaries.
To begin with, the majority of graduates enter full-time work, accounting for nearly 52%, which is the highest proportion compared to other employment categories. Additionally, 15% of the graduates work part-time.
Almost 8% of the graduates are still pursuing full-time postgraduate studies, and an equal percentage is engaged in jobs with unknown titles. Furthermore, 5% of graduates are both studying for a master’s degree and working part-time. Lastly, 12% of alumni are not involved in any form of employment.
Conversely, freelance consultants, making up 5% of the graduates, earn the lowest wages, ranging from $25,000 to $49,999. In contrast, 40% of freelancers earn over $100,000 after five years of graduation. In the government sector, while 5% of salaries fall between $25,000 and $50,000, most wages surpass $100,000, marking this as the highest earning sector among the three types of employment. In private companies, 10% of employees earn between $25,000 and $50,000, which is the most significant proportion within that salary range, yet only 30% achieve earnings over $100,000 five years post-graduation, representing the lowest percentage in that category.
