The Job Market for College Grads
My Information came from this article from the Lansing State Journal.
According to MSU experts the job market for college graduates has hit bottom and probably won’t improve anytime soon. Luckily, the market is at rock bottom and can’t get worse. It might take some time but as long as the market stays stable, experts don’t think it will get worse. That’s not to say this won’t be hard year for everyone, because it will be. Michigan is hurting and everyone knows it. ”
While large and midsize companies continue to downsize, many business with fewer than 500 employees are poised to grow and hire recent graduates,” said Phil Gardner, director of MSU’s Collegiate Employment Research Institute, which conducted a study. The best thing for a college grad is to check your contacts, Employers are more likely to hire someone they know then having to go digging through resumes. Michigan has one of, if not the, the highest unemployment in the country. This makes it difficult for students like Jennifer Orlando.
“It’s difficult because I would like to stay in Michigan because I’m from here,” she said. “It’s kind of sad to see all these great minds leaving the state, so I’d like to stay here and contribute to our society.”
