March 16, 1995 Western Carolinian 5 Careers Job Outlook for College Grads Brightens in 1995 Brace yourself, college seniors: there's good news on the job front. After years of doom-and-gloom forecasts throughout the early 1990s, the employment outlook for college graduates finally may be replaced by brighter skies. "The graduates of 1995 should be entering the best job market in the past four years," said Patrick Scheetz, director of the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University. "Although it's a modest increase, it looks like we're coming out of a dark period for employment." Scheetz and his associates have released a new study based on surveys of 545 companies. He said that the hiring of this year's graduates will increase 5.9 percent over last year, making 1995 the second consecutive year for gains in employment. In the four years before last year's 1.1 percent increase, new jobs for college graduates dropped by 30 percent. Thomas Oh, senior research analyst at Hanigan Consulting Group in New York City, agrees. "Companies are getting back to hiring the people they didn't hire in the early '90s," said Oh. "This year's college graduates have good reason to be more optimistic than ever." In 1994, the number of college graduates hired rose by 8.4 percent. The number this year should be even higher, Oh said. "Students getting their degrees in 1995 face a much better job market than graduates did a few years ago," said Oh. That continues an upward trend from 1994, when college graduates entered an improved job market. "It's kind of anticlimactic when you graduate and then have to wait six months to get a job," says Ron Fille, a 1994 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. "When I was a sophomore and junior, all I ever read was about how horrible the job market was. I thought I was going to get buried." But Fille was able to find a job within one month of his graduation, thanks to an early job search and a major that is in demand. "I was one of the lucky ones who majored in computer science," he says. "There were a lot of companies hiring computer geeks like me to help with technical support." The upwards swing of the 1994 hiring season should continue into 1995, but graduates shouldn't expect to leap into that $50,000-a-year job right away. "Employers are reminding students that they still have some learning to do and that they need to show positive performance on the job," said Scheetz. "A lot of times students think job advancement when they should think job performance. Students proved themselves in college, now they have to prove themselves all over again." Scheetz said that employers will be looking to hire graduates with significant work-related experience and computer skills. "Employers today aren't satisfied with just a degree," said Scheetz, adding that 58 percent of all graduates hired last year had some form of job experience. "Companies today want their new employees to have strong skills in public speaking, writing, and reasoning. Grads should have good teamwork skills and customer service relations abilities, too." Officials at the U.S. Department of Labor predict that job growth for college graduates will continue until at least 2005. Those occupations that show signs of the most growth are teachers, computer systems analysts, engineers, scientists, registered nurses, physical therapists and human services workers. But the continued growth doesn't necessarily guarantee a job for everyone. Labor officials estimate that 17.9 million graduates will join the labor force in the next 16 years, while only 13.7 million entry jobs requiring college degrees will open up. The future job market will be more competitive than ever, as graduates will have to vie for the available positions. Still, nearly 25 percent of graduates will end up working in an occupation that traditionally does not require a college degree, the Labor Department predicts. Courtesy of the College Press FREE!
