PulseKita reproduces MOHE Graduate Tracer Study Table 12c. The population is employed first-degree graduates aged 30 and below, grouped by the report's skilled, semi-skilled and low-skilled occupation levels.
- Historical 2017–2021 tracer-study series, not a current 2026 job-quality measure.
- The denominator is employed first-degree respondents aged 30 and below.
- Skill level describes occupation category; it is not the same as salary, field match or job satisfaction.
