Income prospects of British Columbia university graduates
The research study, Income prospects of British Columbia university graduates examines the annual market income of individuals who obtained bachelor's degrees from universities in British Columbia between 1974 and 1996. According to the study, men and women who graduated during the early 1990s earned less in the two years after graduation than did their counterparts a decade earlier. However, incomes for graduates during the 1990s grew at a faster rate than they did during the 1980s. As a result, incomes for the more recent set of graduates eventually caught up with those of the earlier group, and surpassed them.
