The State of the Humanities 2018: Graduates in the Workforce & Beyond
Activities Engaged in as Part of Principal Job by Humanities Bachelor鈥檚 Degree Holders (as Compared to All Bachelor鈥檚 Degree Holders), 2015
Humanities graduates are similar to the entire population of bachelor鈥檚 degree holders with respect to the likelihood that they engage in key work activities. The share of humanities majors who reported spending more than 10% of their time on managerial and supervisory activities was identical to the share among all fields (58%). Humanities majors were somewhat more likely to be engaged in teaching as well as sales and marketing work and somewhat less likely to be doing STEM-related activities (basic and applied research, design, computer programming, and production), though the share of humanities majors engaged in each of those activities was close to the percentage for all graduates.1
