The University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy’s eighth annual Career Outcomes Report showcases strong, historic post-graduation employment data.

Despite headwinds presented by multiple seasons of stark variance in the labor market, 98 percent of the class of 2022 reported accepting a job offer within 6 months of graduation and the class of 2023 is remarkably well-prepared for the job market.


While job landscapes continue to shift across industries and countries, a constant is the positive reception from employers to the Harris toolkit. The combination of economic and quantitative methods paired with a strong collaborative spirit is what sets our talent apart. Our priority is to prepare graduates for meaningful employment while instilling a sense of lifelong career support.
