                                           Job Prospects for 2012 Graduates

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.
