Music Grads and Employment

Question

Can the DLI resources answer the following question: "the number of music majors who get jobs when they graduate?"

Answer

This may be available as a custom extraction (for a fee) from the National graduates Survey (NGS). The variables in the NGS survey PUMFs unfortunately wouldn't allow you to answer the question as the industry and instructional program groupings are too large. Visual and performing arts, and communications technologies instructional programs seem to be grouped together as are Occupations in art, culture, recreation and sport.

The music department at UVic or an industry association may have statistics on this subject. Other DLI Contacts may have some helpful suggestions for your as well.
