job opportunities in Malaysia. Annual data on higher education and
unemployment rate from 1982 to 2012 were collected. The Johansen co-integration method was conducted and the results show that there is a long-run relationship between higher education and unemployment rate.
However, the relationship between the variables does not exist in the shortrun.
