Providence College’s faculty and staff members are ready to provide their expert opinion on all of today’s hot topics and trends. They are available to respond to all media inquiries regarding their studied areas of expertise.
According to a recent report from the Associated Press (5/13), the class of 2012 is leaving college with something that many graduates since the start of the Great Recession have lacked: jobs. Between September 2008 and August 2010, 6.9 million American jobs were eliminated. In the last year and a half, 3.1 million jobs have been created. The strengthening job market has made a big difference to seniors who are job-hunting in their final semester.
Ms. Patricia Goff, director of Career Services at PC, says the College's Class of 2012 data thus far shows that 30% of graduating seniors have already accepted offers for full time employment and another 22% have enrolled in graduate school.
