Job Market? What Job Market?

October 24, 2012

The Huffington Post says, "53.6% of bachelor’s-degree holders are either jobless or under employed."

College students have always had the perception that if they go to class and get good grades, they will get a degree and good paying job. That isn’t the case, especially anymore. With the downfall of the economy, college students are finding it harder and harder to find a job. (Job seekers with 9 years of experience in a field will take an entry-level position for less pay, just to get a job.)

As a recent college graduate, I know how it feels to come back home to work at your part-time job from high school. Then, you go on interview after interview, only to get the call that they have found someone with more experience.

With the upcoming election, the "job market" and the economy are hot topics. Think about that when you decide who you are voting for!
