More fresh graduates were seeking work, as opposed to other routes like pursuing further studies or taking a break.
SINGAPORE: A smaller proportion of university graduates found jobs fresh out of school in 2025, according to graduate employment survey results on Thursday (Mar 5).
The joint survey by Singapore's six autonomous universities found that 83.4 per cent of recent graduates who sought jobs were working within six months of their final exams.
This was down from 87.1 per cent in 2024, and continues a downward trend since 2022.
The median gross monthly salary for this group held steady at S$4,500 (US$3,500).
For the first time, the survey categorises graduates according to whether they have secured or not secured employment, instead of whether they are employed or unemployed.
