A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs.
75、 Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of stu
76、dents who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this years graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.
