More graduates taking low-skill jobs
University leavers have faced a tough jobs market since the economic downturn
University leavers are increasingly taking non-graduate jobs, according to research.
Six months after leaving university, about 40% of last year's graduates were "underemployed" in lower-skilled jobs, up from about 30% four years before.
The research, published by the Association of Accounting Technicians, says new graduates have been among the worst hit by the economic downturn.
A degree remains a "good investment", says a government spokesman.
The research, carried out by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, forecasts a worsening jobs market for graduates who will leave this summer.
