Over-qualification and skills mismatch in the graduate labour market: CIPD report August 2015
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development has just issued a report arguing that the UK has a particularly high proportion of graduates in non-graduate jobs and that this figure has increased over the past decade.

But more recent figures have pointed to an improving jobs market for graduates and the latest findings on those who left university last summer showed professional employment was up and salaries were higher. Two-thirds of graduates from full-time degrees were in posts classified as “professional employment”, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa).
