The given table illustrates the employment status of first degree graduates from four 
European nations in 2001. A cursory glance at the graph is enough to make it clear that the 
maximum Scottish graduates got employment, whereas the minimum graduates from 
Northern Ireland got jobs in the given year. 
Out of the total Scottish graduates, 66.4% got employed and out of these 43.6% got 
permanent jobs, 20.2% got temporary jobs, but only 2.6% were employed in other countries. 
The degree holders from England showed a similar pattern, with 58.3% landing into some 
sort of a job. 33% got permanent job, 23% got adhoc employment and the remaining 2.9% 
went for overseas jobs. 
In total, 45.3% Welsh graduates got hired, of which 30% had perment jobs, 12.4% had 
temporary jobs and only 2.9% had overseas jobs.
Overall, it is interesting to note that although the recruitment rate of grads from Northern 
Ireland was the lowest, yet the highest went for overseas employment among the given four 
countries.
