Strong Job Market Awaits College Graduates
3/11/2008

A March 9, 2008 USA Today article reports that, despite an overall weak labor market, individuals seeking employment after they graduate from college this spring can look forward to a welcoming environment. Many employers are expected to turn to recent college graduates to fill positions that will soon be vacated by retiring "baby boomers." A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers indicates that employers expect to hire 16% more college graduates in 2008 than they did last year. Recent graduates who majored in marketing, engineering and computer science will be among the most highly sought.

The article is available at the USA Today Web site.
