A total of 63.1 percent of university students who will graduate next spring had found jobs as of Oct. 1, up 3.2 percentage points from a year earlier and rising for the second year in a row, according to a Japanese government survey released on Tuesday. However the figure is still about six percentage points lower than in 2007, according to the joint survey by Japan\'s education and labor ministries. The survey is designed to estimate employment prospects for the around 425,000 students hoping to get jobs after graduation. It polled students at 62 universities chosen among higher learning institutions in the country.
