Summary/Abstract: The paper presents rankings of Polish universities according to the position of their graduates in labor markets. Two basic evaluation criteria were employment chances and relative wage levels. The research was based on the data collected in the national monitoring system for the fortune of college graduates (ELA). The data, split by study level and field, show that the strongest position in labor markets belong to the graduates of technical, economic and medical studies who usually find a job relatively soon and get relatively high wages. Generally, labor markets look intensively for graduates of technical and business studies rather than humanistic or natural sciences studies, though graduates of prestigious universities often obtain good professional position independently of the field of their study.
