MARKET VALUATION OF GRADUATES OF ECONOMIC STUDIES IN POLAND

The article contains an analysis of the remuneration received by the 2014 graduates of the Polish schools conducting economic education on tertiary level; it also indicates some factors responsible for wage differentiation observed among them. The analysis is based on the data taken from the reports generated in the framework of the "Polish system of monitoring the fates of college graduates". The data indicate that the highest wages are obtained by the graduates of economic schools (notably public). It also turns out that economic courses offered by other types of schools, particularly general universities and technical or natural science schools (with few exceptions) do not match the needs of labour markets, as reflected in relatively low wages received by their graduates.
