1. Employment rates refer to the number of graduates employed as a proportion of graduates in the labour force (i.e. those who were working or not working but actively looking and
available for work) as at 1 November 2018 (i.e. approximately six months after completing their final examinations).
2. Overall employment rate includes all types of full-time, part-time, temporary and freelance employment.
3. Gross monthly salary pertains only to full-time permanently employed graduates. It comprises the basic salary, overtime payments, commissions, fixed allowances and other regular cash
