The average income of graduates is 473 euros a month and unemployment rate is below 4 percent, according to data of the rating system of higher education institutions in Bulgaria for 2015. In the first five years after graduation less than half of employed university graduates work in a position that requires higher education. The lowest unemployment - less than 1% and the highest level of application of the acquired higher education - 90%, is observed among medicine and pharmacy graduates and in the military sphere. Unemployment is the highest among those who graduated in livestock entrepreneurship, history and archaeology.
