Postgraduation Activities: All Degree Levels in Pennsylvania, 1976.
Donny, William F.
The postgraduate employment status of students graduated in all degree fields and degree levels from Pennsylvania postsecondary institutions in 1976 is presented. Where possible, the 1976 survey findings are compared with 1975 findings. Data for 45,915 graduates, or 51.4 percent of the graduates of institutions of higher education at all degree levels from 77 percent of Pennsylvania's postsecondary institutions in 1976 were used. As to employment success, results indicate a relatively strong demand for bachelor's degree graduates in computer and information sciences, health professions, engineering, business and management, library science and home economics. A weaker job market faced bachelor's degree graduates in such major disciplines as social studies, psychology, interdisciplinary studies, physical sciences, and biology. A considerably higher percentage of associate degree graduates pursued advanced degrees, and a much lower proportion were unemployed than was the case with baccalaureate degree graduates. At more advanced degree levels the employment picture was increasingly favorable. The appendix contains tables which supplement those in the text. (Author/SPG)
