Spanish term

empleo encajado

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
I understand what the term means (a job consistent with your qualifications) but am not sure how to render it in English.

Relación porcentual entre el número de titulados universitarios en el año “x-3” que se encuentran trabajando en un empleo encajado en el año “x” y el número total de alumnos ocupados en el año “x” que obtuvieron la titulación universitaria en el año “x-3”

El objetivo, por tanto, no debe ser únicamente el logro de un puesto de trabajo, sino que la ocupación se adecue a los estudios realizados, esto es, un “empleo encajado”.

working in their field

Just offering an alternative to Lisa's suggestion, which I think is a good one.
Peer comment(s):

agree Marcelo González : This is exactly how it would commonly be said in the US. Another option would be to just add the words "of study" at the end.

working in a job related to their studies/degree

A bit wordy, but I've seen this expression used in a number of articles.
Example sentence:

About one in five (20%) were employed in roles that were not directly related to their degree
