Employers plan to hire 8 percent more college graduates from this year’s senior class than they did from last year’s, according to a survey released today by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Many seniors have even already received job offers, the association says, echoing an earlier survey.
However, the economic downturn hasn’t left soon-to-be graduates unscathed. Employers have lowered their hiring projections from the 16-percent increase they anticipated in the fall. —Elyse Ashburn
