As the economy continues to slowly improve, seniors and graduate students may have more reasons to be optimistic about job prospects this year. The National Association of Colleges and Employers recently surveyed 900 of its members and found that employers expect to hire 10 percent more entry level workers this spring. A survey of 4,000 employers by the Michigan State University showed similar results, with companies expecting to increase hiring by 7 percent this year.

It's good to see that there is some positive news on the horizon for students who have devoted a relatively substantial portion of their lives to pursuing a college degree. I know, based on successes of my own Public Relations Concentration students at Curry College, that the percentage successfully landing either a full-time job or a paid internship that will lead to a full-time job is slowly rising. While unabashed optimism may not be called for at this time, at least shining hope is rounding the corner!
