How common is skills-related underemployment among tertiary-educated workers?

Skills-related underemployment gives PulseKita a current labour-market outcome measure without pretending it is a fresh-graduate employability score.

Current labour-market mismatch, not a graduate employment rate.

PulseKita uses DOSM's Labour Force Survey skills-related underemployment rate. The indicator covers employed people with tertiary education who are working in semi-skilled or low-skilled occupations under MASCO classifications.

• This is not a graduate employment rate and is not limited to fresh graduates.
• The indicator measures job-skill mismatch among employed people with tertiary education.
• It does not measure salary, job satisfaction, field-of-study match or career progression.
• The latest published source observation may lag the current calendar quarter.
