Best Job Market in Five Years
College grads face some good times, according to Reuters.com:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. college graduates are facing the best job market since 2001, with business, computer, engineering, education and health care grads in highest demand, a report by an employment consulting firm showed on Monday."We are approaching full employment and some employers are already dreaming up perks to attract the best talent," said John Challenger, chief executive of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
In its annual outlook of entry-level jobs, Challenger, Gray & Christmas said strong job growth and falling unemployment makes this spring the hottest job market for America's 1.4 million college graduates since the dot-com collapse in 2001.
Of course, Reuters News Service is nothing but a tool of administration policy And "Challenger, Gray and Christmas" sounds like a Rove plant.
Hat-tip: Insty, who compares it to the French unemployment riots.
