Employers to hire 11% more new grads, survey says

October 22, 2015

Employers plan to hire 11% more new college grads from the class of 2016 for their US operations than they did from the class of 2015, according to a survey of 201 employers by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

But although employers plan to hire more grads this year, the number of employers who will do that hiring went down. Slightly more than 40% of companies said they plan to increase hiring this year compared to 46.4% who planned to increase hiring in last year’s survey.

Employers surveyed were members of NACE.
