Abstract: The newsletter is devoted to the problem of unemployment among university and VET graduates, who received a degree in 2017-2019. We analyze graduate unemployment by level of education, region and university specialization. The study is based on the data of Russian Labour force survey for 2019.- We found that unemployment rate among tertiary educated graduates is 14.4%.
