Quick Hit: Class of '09 Job Hunting Stats
Posted by: Lindsey Gerdes on May 07
According to the National Assocation of Colleges and Employers, only 19% of the students who’ve started looking for jobs have found employment.
Even more surprising—Almost 60% of the class of 2009’s members haven’t even started looking for a job yet. To put it in perspective, 2/3 of the class of 2008 had already started looking for work at the same time last year.
