Almost three-quarters of temporary graduate visa (subclass 485) holders are in full-time (44%) or part-time (30%) employment.
But despite being younger and more highly educated than other skilled migrants, a number of temporary graduates are working in low-skilled occupations – or not at all – after their studies.
Around 17% work in low skilled jobs in retail, wholesale and hospitality. More than 1 in 5 are unemployed and looking for work (10%), or are not participating in the labour market (12%).
