24EN Editor"s Note：University graduates earned less because of the economic downturn.

According to the employment survey conducted by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), the average monthly salary earned by first degree graduates of 2008 was HK$12,114, a slight drop of 0.25% from 2007. Yet, it was a 9% increase compared to the figure in 2006. It is reported that graduates of Chinese Medicine and Biomedical Science, Social Work, and Physical Education and Recreation Management earned 14%-36% more than the average income of other graduates per month.

The survey shows that 84.4% of 2008 graduates found a job by December 2008, and 53% received two or more offers from employers. More than 90% of the respondents were hired within 3 months of graduation. Graduates in Information Systems Management, China Studies (Economics), Chinese Medicine and Biomedical Science, International Journalism, Applied Chemistry, and Statistical and Operations Research enjoyed 100 per cent full-time employment.

Most graduates joined the commerce/industry sector (75%), followed by community/social services (11.3%), education (11.2%) and government service (2.5%). In terms of job nature, the most popular is accounting/audit/tax (12.4%), followed by marketing/sales (8.8%) and administration/management (6%).

The survey was conducted from October to December 2008, and 1,668 valid responses from 1,679 bachelor degree holders were received.

Dr. Tim Wong, Head of the Career Centre at HKBU, said that due to the financial tsunami, competition for jobs has been very keen for 2009 graduates. He encourages graduates to grab the opportunity to secure a job rather than haggling over salary issues.
