UPBEAT OUTLOOK FOR GRADS: Company growth and retirements are contributing to a strong job market for college students from the Class of 2008, according to a new report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Employers responding to NACE’s Job Outlook 2008 Fall Preview survey said they plan to hire 16 percent more new college grads in 2007-08 than 2006-07. “The job market for new college graduates has been gathering strength over the last several years, and this year we’re seeing that trend continue,” says Marilyn Mackes, NACE executive director. This is the fifth straight year in which employers have projected double-digit increases in college hiring. Service-sector employers have the most aggressive hiring plans and expect to increase their college hires by nearly 18 percent over 2006-07. Manufacturers anticipate an increase of nearly 15 percent in college hires. Overall, nearly 58 percent of the employers responding to NACE’s survey reported plans to increase their college hiring; more than one-third (36.5 percent) said they’ll maintain their college hiring at 2006-07 levels. Less than 6 percent expect to trim their college hiring.
