In the latter field, a graduate <strong>from</strong> Florence earns on average 84 percent<br />
more per month than a graduate <strong>from</strong> Messina. Moreover, the average<br />
monthly earnings of a graduate in Economics <strong>from</strong> Bocconi University, a<br />
private institution, are about 60 percent higher than the earnings of a graduate<br />
in the same field <strong>from</strong> the University of Benevento, at the bottom of the list.<br />
Turning to employment probabilities, it is always the case that these are<br />
lowest for graduates of Southern colleges, independently of whether they look<br />
for a job in the North or in the South of the country. For example, a graduate<br />
in Engineering <strong>from</strong> the University of Trieste has a probability of employment<br />
after three years close to 1, compared to less than 0.6 for a graduate <strong>from</strong><br />
Potenza, in the deep South.<br />
