A report on Graduate Labour Market Statistics 2015 revealed that graduates of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects had greater high skilled employment rates than both LEM (Law, Economics, Management) and OSSAH (Other Social Sciences, Arts, Humanities) graduates, across both working age and young populations.

This figure is particularly high in the working age population, where three quarters of STEM graduates worked in high skilled jobs; the equivalent figure was around three fifths for both LEM and OSSAH graduates, respectively. This advantage held for the young population as well, where almost two thirds of young STEM graduates worked in high skilled jobs compared to just over half of both young LEM and young OSSAH graduates.
