An increasing share of university graduates are working in jobs that do not require an academic education. University graduates are unemployed less often than their lower educated peers; however, in 2013 up to 47% of them worked in non-graduate jobs (compared to 37% in 2001). Despite tuition fees tripling to £9,000 per year, recent graduates also earn 12% less than their colleagues who entered the labour market just before the crisis.
