According to the long-term observation and research in the field of agriculture by the Professional Course Examination Guidance Center, we have a fairly accurate grasp of the employment situation of agricultural graduates. Here are some data provided to students taking the postgraduate entrance examination. Through these data, candidates can get a more complete view.

First, the white paper "Employment Status of Shanghai College Graduates in 2007" shows that at the graduate level, the employment rates of graduates from the disciplines of agriculture, engineering, and management rank in the top three, at 99.34, 99.2, and 99.12 respectively. At the same time, the number of graduate students in the two disciplines of engineering and management ranks in the top two. The employment rates of graduates in philosophy and law are lower, 94.88% and 95.96 respectively.

Second, a survey on college students' job search and employment issues jointly conducted by the School Department of the Youth League Central Committee and the Public Policy Institute of Peking University in 2006 showed that the employment rate of agricultural majors, which are not very promising, is the highest, reaching 78.38.

The employment of agricultural graduates is closely related to the school’s geographical location and is also related to the development of the agricultural economy. For example, there are few agricultural R&D companies in Beijing, the demand from employers is flat, and there is not much change every year. The employment of college student village officials is becoming a new growth point for the employment of agricultural graduates. When recruiting people from colleges and universities, districts and counties will pay special attention to whether graduates understand animal husbandry and planting, because rural grassroots work is after all a combination of agricultural production and rural management. In this regard, agricultural graduates are more useful. Even if you are a graduate student, if you have the intention and interest, you will still have a great advantage in the village official employment project.

The construction of new rural areas has made rural areas or rural-related departments hungry for talents, making agricultural graduates very useful. The country is now providing increasing support to agriculture-related industries. If some students want to start a business in this field, it is also a good choice.
