After receiving their degrees, exiting master's degree holders have a variety of employment and education options available to them. Many students enter or remain in the workforce, whereas others continue their graduate education in physics or other subjects. Some new exiting masters, mostly non-US citizens, leave the US after receiving their degrees. Physics departments in the US averaged 942 exiting physics master's degrees a year in the classes of 2016, 2017, and 2018. These new exiting physics masters were asked about their current status in the winter following the academic year in which they received their degrees. This report looks at the different post-degree pursuits of the exiting physics masters from these three classes combined, reporting on sectors and fields of employment, skills used, and starting salaries.
