Do you want a job?
It's not quite our turn, but this is still good news: an improving economy and retiring Baby Boomers are providing a greater opportunity for this year's college graduates to find a job. Companies have more openings, are conducting more interviews, and are doing more hiring than they have been in recent years. Currently, some of the most in-demand jobs or growing fields are accounting, technology, investments, and nursing. So for those of you who are undecided--there you go!
Here's some stats: 13% increase in college hiring between last year and this year; 7 out of 10 employers will increase salary for college hires, at an average of 3.7%.
Unfortunately, some fields are not doing much hiring. It's tough to find a job in journalism, and some engineers are having problems also, due to manufacturing jobs moving overseas.
But, my advice to you is don't let that stop you from doing what you love.
Wayne Wallace, director of the career resource center at the University of Florida, reassures: "'Any major' is the No. 1 demand. We have plenty of employers that say if you are a college grad and want to ... learn our business, we will take you from that point on."
