Parmi les diplômés en géographie issus des universités belges entre 1970 et 1998, 47% sont aujourd'hui occupés dans l'enseignement secondaire ou supérieur, 47% travaillent dans un autre secteur, 5% n'ont aucune occupation professionnelle et ne recherchent actuellement pas d'emploi et 1% seulement sont inscrits comme demandeurs d'emploi. Ces derniers temps, le nombre de diplômés employés hors enseignement a fortement augmenté. Les études de géographie débouchent rarement sur une situation de chômage.
