Almost 73 per cent of humanities, culture and social science graduates had secured full-time employment within several months of graduating, according to the 2022 Graduates Outcomes Survey. That is a 15 per cent increase on the previous year and on-par with the rate of full-time employment for science and maths graduates, which is 72.5 per cent. According to Nick Bisley from the Australasian Council of Deans of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, this counter's one of the justifications for the JRG. "The government made the fee changes on the spurious basis that students were less likely to get jobs and therefore, so if they wanted to do this, they had to pay for it themselves," he said. In discussions with employers about what they look for in graduates, Mr Carah said they were overwhelmingly seeking skills that humanities and social sciences graduates possessed.
