Upon obtaining a B.S. degree what percent of the time do
students actually get a job in their chosen field (within one year
after graduation)?

Hello again Viergutz,   
Thank you for directing this question to me. 


Below you will find the data I mentioned in your other question.


Table 382.  
Full-time employment status of bachelor's degree recipients 1 year
after graduation, by field of study: Selected years, 1976 to 2001

Employment status is divided in the following categories:
          
Percent employed full-time in a job    
Percent employed full-time closely related to field of study     
Percent employed full-time in nonprofessional jobs


This data is also available as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format.  
SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education
Statistics, "Recent College Graduates" surveys, 1976 through 1991; and
2000/01 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:2000/01).
(This table was prepared September 2003.)

For copyright and format reasons I cannot paste the table here;
