In recent years, unemployment has become a fundamental problem regardless of the level of development of the country. The unemployment rates in Turkey are constantly at a high level and for whatever reasons; it has not been possible to make the reduction to the desired low levels. In particular, there is a continuous increase in the total unemployment figures of unemployed who have never entered the labor market. This study aimed to determine the critical factors that increase employment opportunities for Econometrics department graduates in Turkey. There was particular focus on the variables that may explain the determinants of finding a first real job for graduates from the Econometrics Department. Logistic regression was estimated from the collected data. The research findings show that the variables of business experience, additional education, social community, education type, age, and family stimulus show statistical significance in finding a first real job.
