Among those with a Master's degree from a university, the unemployment rate rose from 3.9% to 6.4% one year after graduation. For those with a bachelor's degree from a university of applied sciences, it rose from 3.4% to 4.9%, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) wrote in a press release.
The rate remained stable at a low level of 0.7% for graduates of teacher training colleges.
+ Why unemployment in Switzerland is increasing more than elsewhere in Europe
The increase also affected sectors that had previously been largely unaffected. For instance, the rate among Master's graduates in economics and technical sciences almost doubled.
In addition, more graduates found it difficult to find a job that met their expectations. The main reasons cited were a lack of professional experience and the economic situation.
