Overall, it can be seen Scotland had the highest total of student employment and permanent employment when compared to other countries. In contrast, Northern Ireland witnessed the lowest rate in total employment.
First of all, it is evident that the ratio of permanent employment in Scotland was more than doubled to Northern Ireland, which was 43,6% and 20% respectively. According to temporary employment, students in Scotland demonstrated 20,25% that were also significantly higher, while Northern Ireland reported only 8.6%. However, Northern Ireland had a relatively high overseas employment rate at 5%, nearly twice that of Scotland’s 2.6%.
According to the remaining countries, the disparity between English students and Welsh students was fewer than the two previous counties. In total, 58.3% of graduates in England were employed, compared to 45.3% in Wales. Both permanent employment and overseas employment showed a few gaps, which was 3% and 0,6% in the order. Nevertheless, regarding temporary employment, the English students experienced almost twice as much as the Welsh students, with 23% and 12,4%, respectively
