Social Work Graduate Success: Employment Rates and Job Growth Trends
Social work is one of the fastest growing professions today, which means that our graduates get jobs. In terms of “gainful employment in the field,” of our 2025 survey respondents, 87% were either already employed or became employed in the field within 6 months of graduation. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs in social work are expected to increase by 18.4% between 2022 and 2032 (www.bls.gov).
Our graduates gain the knowledge, values, and skills to practice social work in a variety of settings with people young and old. From counseling to case management and advocacy to intervention, our graduates find fulfillment in applying their skills to improve the lives of the people they serve.
