They put “underemployment” on that chart. So I’m guessing the recent physics graduates are working as interns or some other low paying research job as they get experience.

I feel like there aren't a ton of jobs where you actually need a physics degree, so then if you don't get one of those you're probably filed in the underemployment bucket that is also accounted for in this graphic.

A Physics BS or Masters is useless in a job market unless you get teaching credentials additionally, and even then some school districts prefer a degree in Education. Physics is one of those fields where you need your PhD if you actually want to work in the field. Otherwise it’s just a step into the door of other jobs (like Air Force or Naval officer).
