Ontario’s PhD graduates from 2009: Where are they now?

Using an internet-based search, the study examined the career outcomes of 2,310 doctoral students who graduated from Ontario universities in 2009. The study found that half of the PhDs are working in postsecondary education and more than a third are working in business, industry and other fields outside of the academy. Half are employed in Ontario while the remainder are evenly divided between the rest of Canada, the United States and other countries.
