Several indicators are used to measure each person's experience in the labour market: unemployment incidence, unemployment duration, salary in first job after leaving university and salary in most recent job. In a regression analysis of inter-personal differences in the salary level, it was found that part of the salary differential in favour of graduates was accounted for by a range of factors in addition to whether a person was a graduate or a non-completer.",
