The poll, by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit charity, covered 82% of those who completed an undergraduate degree last summer and live in the UK. The pollsters interviewed the graduates in January – six months after they left university. It comes as ministers plan to substantially increase the amount graduates pay for their degrees.
此次调查由慈善机构高等教育就业服务处进行。调查涵盖了去年夏季在英国取得本科学位且目前在英国生活的82%的毕业生。调查人员于今年一月份，即毕业生离校六个月之后，对他们进行了访问。调查进行之时，恰逢多位部长计划要大幅提高大学生的学费。
The study found 8.9% of graduates, or just over 21,000, were out of a job after six months, a one percentage point rise on the previous year.
该研究发现，8.9%的毕业生（2.1万多人）在毕业六个月后还没有工作，与去年相比上升了一个百分点。
