Goal
You are interested in the job demand, job growth, salary, career path, existing education, and employer criteria of entry-level positions in the US, Australia, and India. This will help you determine the skills you need to target for the free world class education business you are working on.
Early Findings
Job Demand
- Entry level positions and hourly positions have become more difficult to fill in the US. A study by the Rockefeller Institute revealed that 43% of companies in the US consider sourcing entry-level talent a top problem.
- On average, there are 4.8 jobseekers "for every entry-level job in Australia." The country is seeing an employment boom which means that there are more job seekers for entry-level positions than companies seeking these hires. In fact, entry-level jobs are completely disappearing from Australia's labor market.
- India's unemployment rate is at 6.1% - the highest it has been in over four decades. There are more jobs for those without a degree than there are for those with a post graduate degree. This implies that more companies are employing talents for entry-level positions.
Salary
- The average salary for entry level positions in the US is between $32,723 to $59,107. It depends on a lot of factors such as geography, industry, and degree. Those in the tech industry earn higher than most industries in the US.
- The average salary for entry level positions in Australia is anywhere around $48,300 to $84,907 depending on the industry, location, and degee.
