Job Market Promising
Copyright (c) 2007 Kelly Staller
As more students graduate from college than ever before, America’s job market has grown to accommodate these eager job-hunters. Employers are expected to hire about 17.4% more college graduates from the Class of 2007 than last year’s college alumni.
An increasing number of re-entry students or those over the age of 25 are also trying their luck in the university system.
It is not uncommon for 2007’s graduating classes to be characterized by diversity in age and walks of life. A grandmother who simply wants to learn about art history may sit next to a 20-year-old who dreams of becoming the next Picasso.
While elderly college students may not have a job search on their minds, today’s career world is drastically different than even just a year ago.
Did you know these job market facts?
• The most popular degree for the 2006-2007 school year was accounting.
• The second most popular degree this year was in business administration.
• Employers plan to hire about 22% more grads holding an M.B.A. this year.
• Employers in the South plan to hire the most this year, increasing their percentages over one quarter.
• About 40% of employers plan to hire those with Associate’s Degrees this year.
• Many employers frequently list communication skills in writing, grammar and presentations as their number one qualm with new hires.
• Grads holding doctorates will often be hired for engineering or computer-related industries.
For those who only hold Associate’s Degrees, this year’s job market is especially encouraging. Many employers report these candidates as having a better work ethic and everyday skills than those who earned a four-year-degree or higher.
However, the future looks bright for those with Bachelor’s degrees, as many employers enjoy a fresh perspective from recent grads who are both Web-savvy and hungry to begin their first job.
For college graduates, those looking to switch careers or even someone who never worked a day in their life, there are many job search sites available from the convenience of your home computer.
6StarReviews.com is a site that wanted to compare job search engines to find your best bet in snagging the perfect career. Maybe you want to pick up tennis balls at a country club or maybe your thing is selling automotives. Whatever your knack, surfing the Net for your dream occupation is a great way to start.
