All indicators are pointing to a wide-open job market for journalism graduates this May, perhaps the best job market in years. There seem to be more openings for entry-level positions than ever before, and many employers have taken to going out and looking for potential employees on college campuses. In fact, the National Association of Colleges and Employers projects an especially good market for graduating college students.
Education is a key to landing a solid first job.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that jobs requiring a bachelor's degree or more will grow by 25 percent during the decade, but will be paralleled by only a 14 percent increase in average job growth. The Bureau also said jobs requiring an associate's degree or above will grow faster than average, but jobs requiring less education will not open up as fast.
