Survey: College grads finding hot market for jobs this year: John Challenger, CEO of job placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, agreed that employers are finding more competition for graduates in the hot fields.
"We are approaching full employment and some employers are already dreaming up perks to attract the best talent," said a statement from Challenger. "Those graduating with degrees in business, engineering, computer science, education and health care should find a relatively welcoming job market."
But not all fields are hot for grads, he warned. Mortgage banking, real estate, automotive engineering, software engineering, media and journalism and pharmaceutical sales are the areas that are not very hot, according to Challenger.
