Times Higher Education (THE) has published a Graduate Employability Ranking commissioned by Emerging, the French human resources consulting company, and conducted by Trendence, the independent research agency. Over 9,000 international and operational managers in 22 countries and 19 industries were surveyed.
There appear to be some gaps in the survey coverage. There are no respondents from Africa apart from South Africa and Egypt or from Pakistan, Bangladesh Indonesia, and Malaysia.
