Data published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) reveals that 27.7% of UK graduates who left university in 2006/07 were not in full time paid work three and a half years later. Some 8.8% were in part time paid or voluntary and unpaid work, while 5.3% were working and studying, and 6.5% were just studying. But 3.6% were assumed to be unemployed, the statistics show. This is higher than in other years.
