When It Comes to Jobs, It Pays to Be An Actuarial Scientist

When it comes to jobs in the United States, it pays to have studied actuarial science. This is what the 24/7 Wall St. magazine found by analysing data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015 American Community Survey on the undergraduate major and current employment status of college-educated Americans. Those among the graduates with a diploma in nuclear, industrial radiology or biological technologies can consider themselves likewise lucky: With a rate of 0.1%, the chance of unemployment within this industry is very low, too.

In contrast, the highest unemployment rate was found for graduates who majored in fine arts, with 11.7 % remaining without a job in 2015.
