Students in architecture and the arts are among the most likely to struggle to find work after graduating, according to a US study. Unemployment among such graduates was more than 50 per cent higher in some areas than among students with science degrees, The Washington Post reported. The study, by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, found the highest rates of unemployment among students with degrees in architecture (13.9 per cent), arts (11.1 per cent) and humanities (9.4 per cent), based on 2009 and 2010 data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. In contrast, those with degrees in health and education were least likely to be unemployed (5.4 per cent), with agriculture and natural resources graduates at 7 per cent.
