An Improving Employment Picture for College Graduates? October 17th, 2014 The Collegiate Employment Research Institute released findings recently reporting that hiring for new bachelor’s degree recipients will increase by 16 percent in 2014-2015. The Center based its findings on surveying among 5,700 employers. Commenting in the Chronicle of Higher Education, the Institute’s Director, Philip D. Gardner, believes that the brighter outlook is because “the economy is improving, employers are looking ahead and retirements are starting to trickle out . . . (and) . . . some of these companies are simply growing.”
