Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what information her Department holds on the average salary for a university graduate; and what that figure is for people who did not attend university.
The Government regularly publishes information on graduate employment trends through its ‘Graduate Labour Market Statistics’ publication, which can be found on the gov.uk website; https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/graduate-labour-market-quarterly-statistics.
According to the most recent publication, in 2016 the median salary for graduates was £32,000. This compares to a median salary of £22,500 for non-graduates.
