FEWER employers are taking on new university graduates as the uncertain economic climate continues, a new survey reveals.
One in eight organisations surveyed by Graduate Careers Australia (GCA) didn't take on any graduates in 2012.
Since 2008 there's been a steady increase in the number of employers not recruiting any graduates, the annual Graduate Outlook Survey released on Tuesday shows.
Similarly, the number of employers taking on more than 20 graduates has steadily declined.
Less than one in five employers said they would have recruited more graduates last year if the candidates had been available.
That's below the level of the global financial crisis in 2009, and well down on a 2007 high of three in five wanting more graduates.
More than half of the 584 employers surveyed cited business and economic conditions as the main reason for their hiring decisions.
The construction, mining and industry appeared the most affected, with 78 per cent saying this was the main reason.
In the government, defence and health sector, one-third cited economic conditions while almost another third said budgetary constraints had affected decision-making.
But GCA executive director Noel Edge said the long-term outlook for university graduates was still good.
"Although the graduate employment market is currently flat ... our research has consistently shown that unemployment is not a long-term concern for university graduates," Dr Edge said in a statement.
