BETHLEHEM, PA -- Your chances of getting a job - maybe even the perfect entry-level job - are great! According to many of the employers who are currently recruiting, this is the healthiest job market in three years. Overall, according to Job Outlook 2008, employers plan to hire 16% more graduates in 2007-08 than they did in 2006-07.
The growing demand for entry-level employees and new graduates is a result of an increased demand for employers' products and services. It's also important to note that many employees are retiring, and other employees are leaving organizations for new opportunities. Employers expect the good job market to continue - or perhaps get better!
Employers plan to target business, engineering, and computer-related degrees in 2007-2008. The Top 10 degrees in demand are: Accounting, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration and Management, Economics/Finance, Information Sciences & Systems, Marketing/Marketing Management, Computer Engineering, Management Information Systems/ Business Data Processing.
