Employers plan to target business, engineering, and computer-related degrees at both the bachelor’s and master’s degree level in 2007-2008. This year, at the bachelor’s level, the list is topped by accounting, followed by mechanical and electrical engineering, and computer science.

Master’s level

At the doctorate degree level, employers will mainly target computer engineering and electrical engineering graduates, followed by computer science, mechanical engineering, and business administration/management.

Employers looking for graduates with associate degrees, too

The demand for associate degree graduates appears to have dipped slightly for 2007-08 graduates. In 2005-06, 33 percent of employers said they would hire two-year graduates; in 2006-07, it was 39 percent of employers. This year, only 27 percent plan to hire associate degree graduates.

Degrees most in demand this year are technology/engineering and business administration/management degrees. There is also a high demand for computer science and information sciences majors.

Employers interested in two-year graduates include utility companies, state and local government, and consulting services.

Employers that hire associate degree graduates say these students often have more work experience than four-year graduates and have developed a good work ethic, making them a good choice for entry-level hiring. In addition, they often enter the work force with a special skill set unique to the positions they seek, so employers need to do less training with these graduates.

In addition, most two-year grads have realistic expectations in terms of salary and promotions; hence, they have more longevity in the world of work.

Environmentally Green Jobs

The earth is in trouble and the economy is going as bad as it could, what’s the good news if there is any in this troubled earth? Well, it seems that people really want to go green and save the earth after they experience the wrath of mother nature with extreme storms and weather that have caused so much damage. The ice shelves of Antarctica are melting and we have to help mother earth or risk drowning when they do. Green technology is in, brought about first by the disgust of people over the control oil magnates and empires have over the dwindling supplies.
Solar, wind, wave and many other green technologies are indeed beginning to make a difference in our daily lives with house after house choosing to go solar. The technology is still quite steep but rather than face the wrath of mother nature, most developed countries are willing to spend extra and invest in alternative fuels. Bio diesel is out (due to ill-effects of the production) so LNG and hydrogen are still some of the most promising ones around. Green is the way to go, all simply has to look at the net for the many start up firms that need people. You love the earth now do you? If not, you might not have anywhere to live in say in a decade or so.

The only folks who are engaged at mass hiring are federal law enforcement branches who are swelling their ranks to deal with rising crime and for deployment to the two wars the US is engaged in. Most private offices are halting hiring, even trimming their established workforces to save on labor costs. There are openings but they are harder to come by through conventional means. Even internet searches are turning out empty as applications and resume’s flood their databases.
So what do you do when jobs are hard to find, that’s up to you. Start your own business, work at home and many other options are available. Doing several part-time gigs can be best for you get a feel for a larger part of the job market. Keep informed so you know which industries are open for business and are in need of people. The proposed government stimulus package aims to create jobs so keep tabs on these from the net.
