Good News, College Grads (Except Lawyers)!
Moderately good news, unemployed college graduates! A new report on hiring trends says that hiring of graduates with bachelor's degrees or MBAs will surge by 10% next year. Green shoots! As long as you didn't go to law school.
Because while hiring for BAs and MBAs is expected to rise 10%, and hiring of Ph.D's is predicted to go up 5%, the news isn't as good for everyone:
Hiring is expected to decline for those with associate, master and professional degrees, with professional-degree hiring seeing the biggest drop at 13 percent. The professional category includes law, medical and veterinary degrees.
Ouch. Sorry. Can't say we didn't warn you. It's a good thing law school grads are so resilient.
