New report finds that bachelor's degree recipients whose first job does not require degree are more likely to remain "underemployed" five years later -- and women fare worse than men. Studies of the underlying validity of the stereotype over time have offered mixed results, with various methodologies counting anywhere from single digit percentages to 45 percent of recent graduates as "underemployed. For students and parents, having a graduate take a job that might appear beneath his or her qualifications might beat the alternative in an especially tight job market.

But a study released today by the labor market analytics firm Burning Glass Technologies suggests that graduates who take such jobs pay a lasting price. Many of those workers remain underemployed by this definition 10 years after leaving college. As is true of so many overarching statistics like this, enormous variation occurs among the graduates. Some analysts said they believe the data and the report's conclusions from them overstate the extent of the problem and the reasons for it -- more on that below. Everyone knows what unemployment means, and why it's a problem for the individuals involved.

But under employment is a murky term. The federal government doesn't formally calculate underemployment in its regular surveys of Americans' working lives, largely "[b]ecause of the difficulty of developing an objective set of criteria which could be readily used in a monthly household survey," the Labor Department explains. In other words, underemployment is too hard to measure accurately. But scholars have typically mined federal and other data to try to define underemployment as being in the labor force but employed either at less-than-full-time jobs or at positions that don't match workers' skills and training or meet their economic needs.

The company analyzed job postings and defined as a "college-level job" any position for which more than half of job postings requested a bachelor's degree. Using that measure, it added dozens of job types such as insurance adjustor, radiation therapist and paralegal to the standard job lists used by the Labor Department, and excluded some others. Burning Glass acknowledges that these shifts in employer expectations, known as "upcredentialing," could inflate the amount of underemployment revealed by the report.

Using that definition, Burning Glass found that 43 percent of recent graduates had jobs that did not request a bachelor's degree, while 57 percent held positions for which employers sought workers with a bachelor's. The initial hole was tough to climb out of. Two-thirds of the 43 percent were still underemployed, by Burning Glass's definition, five years after graduating.

And almost three-quarters of those were unemployed 10 years after they began their first job, as seen in the graphic below. By comparison, the vast majority of the 57 percent whose first jobs were deemed "college-level" positions were in such jobs 5 and 10 years later. Significant differences surfaced by major and choice of professional field. No surprise, but engineers 29 percent and computer scientists 30 percent were least likely to be underemployed in their first job, followed at a significant distance by communication majors 39 percent and mathematics majors 39 percent.

More than half of graduates in nine categories of graduates including those majoring in psychology, general studies, biology and education were underemployed right out of college. Join today and get started on your career success journey! Career Quizzes.
