Abstract

A study of the employment profile of 296 commerce graduates for school year 1996-99 of Central Philippine University showed a significant difference in their monthly income in terms of age and major field of study. It supports the hypotheses that income incases with age and that hiring preference is given to single, male accountancy graduates with enough experience. Majority of the commerce graduates work in financing, insurance and real estate business, are in rank and file positions doing clerical works.
