Unemployment rate among bachelor's degree holders stands at 25%
In the recent data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) on July 23, 2024, we have insights into the employment rates and job search times for various degree programmes in Turkey. However, specific statistics and detailed reports regarding employment rate trends by department and average monthly income for bachelor's and associate degree holders in Ankara, Turkey, for 2023-2024 remain elusive.
The retrieved documents mostly refer to academic news, general university achievements, or unrelated administrative visits, but do not contain granular employment data by degree type, field, or income level in Ankara. For such specific, up-to-date information, Turkish national statistical agencies (e.g., TÜİK), Ministry of Labor, or relevant academic labor market studies by Turkish universities would be the typical authoritative sources.
Despite the lack of detailed data for Ankara, we can still highlight some key findings from the nationwide data. For bachelor's degree graduates, the employment rate slightly decreased from 75.6% in 2023 to 75% in 2024. The average time for bachelor's degree graduates to find a first job remained consistent at 14.4 months in 2024.
Among the top-earning departments for bachelor's degree graduates in 2024 were pilotage, mathematical engineering, and aerospace engineering. Graduates in these fields were reported to earn the highest average monthly incomes. Medicine also featured prominently, with a high employment rate of 96.4% at the undergraduate level.
In the field of education, 63.8 percent of graduates were employed in their field of study. Specifically, education saw relatively short job search times, with subjects like medicine and special education teaching recording job search times of 4.1 months and 4.3 months respectively.
For associate degree holders, the employment rate declined to 66.4% from 67.7% in 2023. Among associate degree programs, police vocational training had a 92.3% employment rate, while special education teaching registered a high employment rate of 95.1% at the undergraduate level.
Unfortunately, no specific information about the employment rate for other degree levels, departments, or job search times for associate degree holders was provided. Business administration and law had 79.4 percent of graduates working in their field of study.
As we continue to seek more detailed data, it's essential to remember that these findings offer a snapshot of the employment landscape for bachelor's and associate degree graduates in Turkey. For a comprehensive understanding, it's advisable to consult the aforementioned authoritative sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Although the analyzed documents focused largely on education-and-self-development and general-news, they did provide some insights into the employment rates and job search times for bachelor's and associate degree holders in Turkey. However, specific information regarding employment rate trends by department and average monthly income for these degree holders in Ankara, Turkey, for 2023-2024 remains elusive.
