신규대졸자 중 대기업(종업원 300인 이상) 취업 비중은 4년제 대졸 20% 내외, 전문대졸 15% 내외이나, 중소기업 취업 비중은 전문대졸 50%, 4년제 대졸 30% 정도임. 
2009학년도 대졸자의 출신대학별 선망직장 취업 비중을 살펴보면, 서울4년제(37.5%), 지방국공립대(28.5%), 지방사립대(24.9%) 등 출신대학에 따른 차이 존재 
2007학년도 대졸자가 2008년에 중소기업 정규직으로 재직하고 있다가 2010년에 대기업 정규직으로 취업에 성공한 비율은 6.6%, 중소기업 비정규직으로 재직하고 있다가 대기업 정규직으로 취업에 성공한 비율은 2.8%로 매우 낮음. 
2008년의 경제활동상태에 따른 2010년 선망직장 취업 가능성을 보면, 민간부문 선망직장 취업에는 비경활(재학 제외) (6.2%)보다 비선망직장 취업(8.4%)이 더 유리하지만, 공공부문 선망직장 취업에는 비경활(재학 제외)(7.4%)이 비선망직장 취업(3.5%)보다 유리한 것으로 나타나, 공공부문의 채용제도 개편 필요성이 제기됨.

Among the newly graduates, the proportion of those finding a job in large enterprises (with more than 300 employees) is around 20% for 4-year university graduates and around 15% for junior college graduates, while the proportion of those finding work in small and medium enterprises is 50% for those junior college graduates and around 30% for 4-year university graduates.
The share of the year 2009 graduates finding a job in their preferred place of work establishments differs depending on colleges attended, with 37.5% for those who graduated from 4-year universities in Seoul, 28.5% who graduated from national/public universities in regional areas, and 24.9% for those who graduated from regional private colleges.
Among the graduates of 2007, there were 6.6% of them who had succeeded to find regular employment in large enterprises in 2010 after working full-time in small and medium enterprises in 2008, while only 2.8% found full-time employment in large enterprises after working as non-regular workers in smaller ones.
Estimating the probability of finding employment in preferred workplace within the private sector in 2010 given the employment status in 2008, those in non-preferred employment had a higher chance than those economically inactive population (excluding those in school), but the latter had more advantage over the former when finding employment in preferred workplace within the public sector, suggesting the need to improve the recruitment system of the public sector.
