Abstract
This paper aims to examine the relationship between higher education and 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.
