Employment Statistics for Graduates within Arts and Culture

These statistics estimate how graduates from artistic and cultural education, subsequently fare in the labor market, for up to 10 years after graduation. These statistics are comparable from 2010 onwards.

The statistics are an annual statement of key figures on unemployment rates for graduates, the employment rate, the number of employed and the average incomes, for persons who have completed artistic and cultural education. The statistics are grouped by educational institution, education, gender, income type, unemployment type, sector, and geographical by place of work.

Accuracy and reliability

It is not possible to calculate the margins of statistical error. The statistics are compiled for the whole population and, therefore, there is no sample error.

Timeliness and punctuality

The statistics is published 3-5 months after the latest input data source has been published. The latest data source is the register-based labour force statistics which is published 14-16 after the reference point in time.

Comparability

The statistics are comparable from 2007 to 2010 and again in the current time series from 2010 onwards. Data breaches in 2010 are due to a number of mergers of educational institutions in the years from 2009 to 2011. There are no international standards for graduates from artistic and cultural educations' subsequent connection to the labor market. The statistics are therefore not directly comparable with statements from other countries.
