Are you a graduating senior this year? If you are, you are in a great place to be! The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) predicts college hiring will increase in 2007, making it the fourth straight year that new graduate hiring is expected to grow by a double-digit percentage. You might ask, what is responsible for this growth in jobs for these new professionals. Company growth, retiring employees and high job turnover are lised as key reasons for the rise in hiring.
While it appears the class of 2007 should consider heading south, where hirers plan to increase employment of recent graduates by 25.5 percent (bringing the total amount of southern employers intending to recruit new grads to 60 percent). The West doesn’t lag far behind, with a 23 percent predicted bump in jobs for fresh grads.
Well it looks like the following occupations will be having some of the most increases in the hirings.
