Early Projections Say Employers Will Hire More New Graduates in 2011

Good news for the Class of 2011: The National Association of Colleges and Employers projects that hiring is about to pick up. The 197 employers who took part in the association’s survey, Job Outlook 2011 Fall Preview, expect to hire 13.5 percent more new graduates from this year’s class than they did from last year’s. The association plans to update the projections throughout the year. Results from a much larger annual survey of employers, conducted by Michigan State University, will come out this fall.
