North American Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, May 49,
What's the job outlook for
June graduates?
The following survey shows
employment prospects for col
lege seniors as reported by q
representative group Of colleges
and universities:
1.-What Is employment pros
pect for college seniors who are
looking for work?
University Of Miami (Fla).
Most of the seniors in the
upper half of their class will
have employment by gradua-
ton. Fifty per cent Of the
balance will have employment
by next fall. The remainder
may have difficulty in finding
suitable employment.
Yale University-Good.
Columbia University Pros
poets for earnings this year
look good.
st. Louis University = EN-
ployment prospects for our
college seniors are about same
as last year.
University of Chicago-very
good.
University of Toledo = Ex-
cellent for students with good
grades, personality and leader
ship ability.
Boston University - Favor
able. Somewhat better than
1858.
Wayne State University
Fairly good for engineers and
technical students; not good fol
liberal arts students.
Smith College-Better than
last year,
For the United States as q
whole: The economic situation
is now much improved and job
prospects look decidedly better
than a year ago.
2.-What salaries are being
offered to seniors this year?
How do they compare with pre-
vi0us years?
University Of Miami (Fla)-
Average salary offered engineers
is $525 q month. About the
same as last year.
Yale University = Engineers
$50; liberal arts, $435. Higher
than last year.
Columbia University - Engi-
neers, $525 a month; bushes:
students, $500; liberal arts stu
dents, $425. Better than last
year.

neers. $500 q month; business

shows that more jobs are avail
able. and at higher starting
salary scales, than q year ago.
According to Secretary Of
Labor Mitchell. job applicants
with advanced training--that Is.
beyond the bachelors degree
have q better chance to snare
the top Jobs than do those with
the minimum four years re-
quired for the B. S. or B. A.
Look Decidedly Better
Job prospects look decidedly
better than ayear ago." Secre-
tary Mitchell says categorically.
AS in the past, the greatest
needs are for professional, tech
nical, clerical and sales person.
mel. Engineering and science
head the list Of fields where the
opportunities are best.
The average college graduate
can expect a starting salary of
SAYS q month. If he has a
masters degree, the salary will
go beyond that. A Pho. adds
still more.
Many Government Vacancies
The army of college gradu-
ates' will enter many fields.
Probably the Federal Govern
ment is the largest employer.
1t lists hundreds of occupa-
tiohs in 10 departments and
agencies. The Government re-
ports that college graduates,
without experience. will begin
a $4,000 a year. Outstanding
graduates may expect to begin
at 1880.
Salaries for engineering
graduates are considerably
higher than those for the
liberal arts. For example,
beginning workers in engineer
ing or scientific positions can
expect $4.490 a year. while it is
not unusual for the better
qualified to get $3.50. This
June $4,000 students viii re-
ceive engineering degrees, and
the job outlook for them is
excellent.
Next to engineers, the great
est need is for teachers. Be-
cause of increased enroIlments,
100000 new teachers will be
needed in the elementary
schools alone. Fewer than
$4,000 are available, Partly as
a result of this shortage, ele-
mentary school teachers will
receive q record starting salary
Of $4,000 a year-just about
double what it was 10 years
ago.
Teachers are needed on
almost every level. from
kindergarten through college.
High school teachers are in
demand in sush areas as
mathematics, science. home
economies. psychology and in
some foreign languages. The
average high school teacher.
with a masters degree, can ex-
pect to start at $500 a year.
Students Less Selective
The college placement officers
report that although jobs are
more plentiful this spring than
a year ago, the students are
not as demanding or selective
as they were the past several
years. Evidently the 1858 re-
cession is still worrying them.
Most Of the seniors in the up
per half Of their class will
have employment by gradual
ton, the University Of Miami
(Fla) notes. Salaries for nom
technical graduates, the uni
versfty reports, will avearge

Study Needs

CHICAGO. May % lap =
Public school officials from IA
of the Nations largest cities
got together for shop talk this
week and learned that they
have many problems in COM
mon.
The conference, which ended
today, was so enlightening that
the educators voted TO set up
Ia permanent organization to
pursue common school inn
provement studies.
DR.. Paul Mort Of Teachers
College. Columbia University.
New York, sounded this key
nbte:
big cities have lived in iso-
lation. not only from the coun-
try. but from each other as
we'll. It is a significant step in
education that you are here
making a decision to work to-
gether on common problems"
Need Of Program Seen
The permanent cooperation
effort is an outgrowth Of q
limited consultation during the
last, three years to explore vo-
cational education aims, spon-
sored by the Sears Foundation
and the Fund for the Advance
ment of Education.
The conferees agreed that
one Of the most pressing prob
lens facing each city is a need
for devising educational pre-
grams for youngsters who are
culturally handicapped or de-
'prived-those who, in other
words, those who are unlikely
ever to amount to anything be-
cause Of humdrum environment
of poverty or foreign back
grounds.
Benjamin C. Willis, general
superintendent Of schools in
Chicago, who was nam d
chairman of the continuing
group, said it expects to face
many common problems Of
education in the future.
Washington Included
The cities represented were
Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo. Chi
cago, Cleveland, Detroit. Mil
waukee, New York, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburgh, st. Louis. San
Francisco, Los Angeles and
Washington.
Mr.. Willis said the initial
vocational education studies
have pointed up many aims,
Among them, he said, 1t was
agreed that vocational training
should be considered on a COM
prehensive basis, and kept in a
cooperative relationship with
other school programs.
ReasseSsment Of admission
requirements, counseling and
guidance services should be
made. More vocational training
is needed for girls and women,
and more emphasis should be
placed on adults who wish to
enter or re-enter specific voca-
tional fields.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-24

from $375 to $500 a month. The
average salary offered engi-
neers is $525 q month.
Yale University reports that
the liberal arts graduates, may
expect SASS a month, while the
engineers win get $50. This
corresponds fairly closely with
the situation at Columbia Uni
versity. where the average SAL
airy for engineers is $525 q
month. while that for liberal
arts students is 500 q month
lower.
THE jobs are there" said
John A Bornemann, Columbis
University placement director
Graduates will have to work q
little harder to get them. In any
kind Of job market, good or bad
the men who work the hardest
to land q job usually are the
most successful"
The placement counselor al
the University of Chicago, Lo.
well s. Calvin, is highly opti-
Inistic. Job opportunities are
as good as in 1857, he points
out. and considerably better
than in 1858.
Good Opportunity for Women
Job opportunities for womer
have improved substantially ir
recent years. A typical com.
ment comes from Alice Davis
vocational director at Smith
College. Salaries are at least al
high, and in many instance:
higher, than last year. A
mathematics major, DR.. Davis
points out. can start at more
than $1,000 q year.
Many women at Smith, as at
other women's colleges, arr
turning toward teaching.
"Our Seniors" observed DR.
Davis. seem to have a mission.
airy zeal where public schoo
teaching is concerned"
But all is not rosy for the
college graduate. Some part,
of the country still feel the eff.
feet Of the recession. Wayne
State University, in Detroit, re.
ports that the employment pros.
pect for college seniors is shaky
Jobs are not as plentiful as In
the past. Fewer firms came tC
the campus this spring to inter.
view seniors 152 compared t.
EOS a year ago.
On the whole, though, if you
are a college senior, you have
an excellent chance of getting
a good job at a good salary
But you will have a better
chance, college authorities en-
phasize, If you remain in col
lege for another year or two
and get an advanced degree.
