Halal Food Producer as An Alternative Employment Job for Halal Science Graduates in Brunei Darussalam

Abstract

Employment has always been a source of worry among university graduates. The unemployment rate is possibly the most well-known labour market indicator and certainly one of the most regularly mentioned by the media in many countries, as it is thought to best reflect the lack of employment at the national level. In nations that collect data on the labour force, it gives the broadest measure of the labour market situation, along with the employment to population. A quantitative survey was conducted to scrutinize how halal science graduates could get themselves employed in the halal food sector. The survey questionnaires were designed and targeted at those who venture into the halal food business. The study resulted that the halal food producer may gain the lowest and highest monthly income of less than five hundred and more than five thousand respectively. Thus, with the good marketability of halal food and resources, there is a vast opportunity for these halal graduates to venture into businesses selling halal food as they can implement all knowledge; they gained in their halal science studies at the University.
