ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 16 – Data covering 35% of UC alumni since 2000 shows software engineer is the top job, with Google and the UC system leading as largest employers, Lightcast reported.
- On July 18, 2025, the University of California released a new dashboard showing which companies have employed its alumni from 2000 through 2024.

- UC provost Katherine Newman highlighted that most Pell Grant recipients surpass their family's earnings within a few years after completing their degrees, also emphasizing that many job roles are specific to certain industries, reflecting the complexity of the labor market.
- The data serves as an illustrative resource for students and policymakers as the UC system faces about $400 million less state funding due to California's projected budget deficit.
