Abstract

Until now, a statistical study had not been carried out on graduates who have a job within months of having completed their studies at the School of Political and Social Sciences of Ciudad Juarez. There is a diverse literature on the difficulties faced by people who finish university careers in Mexico, generally with a pessimistic approach. Private educational institutions state that almost all of their new professionals get a job, less than a year after finishing their studies. With this work, a first step is taken to later make more extensive and comparative studies with public and private universities on the reality faced by recent graduates. Through a statistical sample for population proportions, respondents were asked if they had a job of more than 30 hours a week, for three different periods, resulting in an average of 22.2 percent with an affirmative answer.
