Employment data nationwide may be flagging, but 73 percent of job-seeking students expect two or more job offers after finishing school, according to a recent survey by MonsterTRAK, a subsidiary of job search company Monster Worldwide Inc.
•59 percent of employers said they would be hiring.
•"It’s a little bit more of an employer’s market — 29 percent of folks are still unsure" they will hire recent grads, said Mark Charnock, MonsterTRAK vice president. That is twice as many uncertain employers as in last year’s survey.
•The expected average salary for ‘08 graduates has grown almost 10 percent, to $39,500 from $36,000 for grads last year, in line with increases over the last couple of years payday loans in one hour.
"There are a lot of salary bumps (this year)," Charnock said, because many aging employees are leaving the work force and companies are eager to hire.
