Is the job market for new graduates looking up?

I found this article located at:

Is there ready a positive future?

In part it reads:

Positive tendencies in recruitment for fresh graduates

The survey Recruiting Trends, highlighted by Forbes, showed that the hiring of college grads was expected to jump 15% in 2016.

This makes it the second year in a row that the survey has shown double-digit hiring growth. In 2015, hiring climbed by 16% over the year before that, which was an especially significant jump given that 2014 showed only a 7% increase.

67% of hiring managers and human resources professionals in the US reported to CareerBuilder that they are willing to hire recent college graduates during 2016. That went up from 65% the year before that – and it’s the best outlook since 2007. “More companies are looking to hire students straight out of college than any other time in almost a decade,” commented CareerBuilder’s CEO Matt Ferguson.

The report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers showed a confident 5% growth in graduates from the class of 2016 expected to be hired, compared to the previous year. Although the number doesn’t sound as impressive as those shown by similar studies, it is still promising for the grads of 2016, who are entering the best job market in years.

The EU market tendencies are looking good too, with the UK in particular showing that their graduate recruitment expanded by almost 8% in 2014, which was expected to be followed by a further 8% rise in 2015. In 2016, the country’s top employers were planning to hire 7.5% more graduates than in 2015.

According to the 2016 US Job Forecast, more and more employers are looking for opportunities to build relationships with students at an early age – 25% of employers were planning to hire high school students as interns over the 12 months following the survey. There was a general intention within the employers to encourage the next generation to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields as well as other in-demand areas.
