College grads: Job picture looks bleak
Baltimore Business Journal
Four out of five college students and young graduates are looking for a job to make extra money during the holidays, but many of them don’t think they’ll land one in a rough-and-tumble economy.
That’s according to a holiday jobs survey by Boston-based Experience Inc., which provides career services for college students and recent graduates.
Only 22 percent surveyed said they had secured a part-time or full-time job for the upcoming winter break. That’s down from 47 percent of survey respondents in 2007.
Of those still looking for a job, 53 percent said they think they are unlikely to secure a position, the survey said.
