EMPLOYER HIRING PLANS JUMP FOR CLASS OF 2022 GRADUATES
Employers plan to hire 26.6% more new college graduates from the Class of 2022 than they did from the Class of 2021, according to National Association of Colleges and Employers ("NACE’s") Job Outlook 2022 report.
The data NACE collected in its Job Outlook 2022 survey appear to be in line with job opening trends in general. With job openings exceeding 10 million and the unemployment rate now below 5%, employers are obviously viewing a very competitive labor market.
This is also evident in the Job Outlook 2022 results that show that almost 60% of responding employers have plans to increase hires this year, compared to just 16.5% last year.
Companies routinely look for individuals who are career ready.

"Some of you are lucky. You got into college knowing exactly what piques your interest. You know what you’re good at. You know your personality type and where it will flourish. Most of us aren’t like you.
Going into college, I knew I was going to study marketing. I thought of and still think of myself as creative, yet organized and somewhat analytical. Perfect for marketing, I thought. What I learned during school is that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. I understood that capitalizing on your strengths is important, but practicing and improving your weaknesses are too.
When I look at today’s infographic I see a bit of myself in each career type and I’m sure you do too. It feels good to be well-rounded and when you’re looking for a career, remember to do what makes you happy, not necessarily what you’re good at."
