The Recession Effects an Employed
Smith College’s career office sent its anxious job-hunting seniors a letter last month with a reassuring message : "There are jobs, and you can find employment." Unfortunately, there are far fewer jobs than anticipated, according to a report out today from the National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE). The companies surveyed for the group’s spring update are planning to hire 22 % fewer graduates from the class of 2009 than they hired from the class of 2008, a big letdown from the group’s projections in October that hiring would hold steady. Some 44% of companies in the survey, conducted last month, said they plan to hire fewer new graduates, and another 22% said they do not plan to hire at all this spring, more than double last year’s figure. " If you were a student and were out there (interviewing) in the fall, you probably had a decent chance of getting a job," says Edwin Koc, director of strategic and foundation research at NACE. "But frankly, the spring does not look good. "
Job prospects for college graduates, which had been on the rise since 2004, dropped in virtually every sector this year. The most dramatic decline was, not surprisingly, in finance, which hemorrhaged 71 % of expected job openings. Less expected but equally troubling is the 37% decline in hiring for professional services, which include accounting and engineering. " Poor hiring estimates from this area speak to the depth of the recession in the college labor market for the class of 2009," the report says.
Government is essentially the only industry planning to hire more new graduates this year than last, as the new Administration expands and a graying workforce retires. The increase in government recruiting is obvious to students. Last year, notes Dorothy Kerr, executive manager of Rutgers University’s career services, there were just 15 government and nonprofit employers at the annual Big East Career Day in Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden; others were kept out to make room for 135 private-sector employers. This year, just 80 private companies signed up for the March 13 event, where 30 federal agencies will be on hand accepting resumes. "The good news is, the Federal Government is definitely hiring,"Kerr says. Still, according to the NACE report, the projected increase is less than 6 % .
Not only are fewer companies hiring, but more of those with openings are offering internships instead of full-time spots. Only a third of on-campus recruiters this year are looking to sign both full-time employees and interns, the report found, down from an average of two-thirds for the classes of 2007 and 2008. And 16% of employers will be hiring only interns, nearly double the percentage that did so last year. "I explain to the students that it’s like taking another course, and paying to take that course," says Middlebury’s executive director of career services, Jaye Roseborough.
Which of the following is true of job prospects for class of 2009?
选项
A、Job opportunities in finance dropped the most dramatically.
B、Situations in accounting and engineering were very optimistic.
C、Job prospects dropped in all sectors including government.
D、The government will hire more college graduates this year.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。本文从第二段开始都是在讨论2009年大学毕业生的就业前景。第二段第二句说:最大幅度的下降发生在金融行业。故[A]与之相符。第三句说,虽然在财会、工程等专业服务行业工作机会比预期下降的幅度只有37%,远远低于金融行业,但同样令人不安,[B]与之不符,故排除;根据第三段第一句“政府部门实际上是唯一一个计划增加招收大学毕业生的行业"可排除[C];第三段最后一句指出:根据NACE的预计,政府部门增加招收大学毕业生的比例低于6%,并不是很多,故排除[D]。
