When students graduate college, they feel empowered and motivated to jump straight into their career. Unfortunately, these past recent years, landing the career graduates want hasn’t been easy. Many companies have frozen their hiring rate leaving young adults with no jobs, no income, and thousands of dollars in school debt they cannot afford. However, the National Employment Report has informed the public that private employers have increased jobs since November 2011.
According to U.S. College Search, those who have a degree in computer science are already in the market. “Employers are looking for people who can work HTML5, program applications, and develop software,” – who said geeks were losers? A computer software engineer can earn up to $82,421.00 and employment is expected to increase from now to 2018.

Another field that appears promising is healthcare. Don’t think you have to be a doctor to do this; home health aides, medical assistants, even nurses are in high demand right now. Think about it, there will always be illnesses, accidents, and elderly people in need. A health aid’s average salary is about $28,100 and according to MSN, “the number of Americans 65 and older is projected to be 88.5 million by 2050, more than double its estimated 2010 population.” Medical assistants can earn up to $37,500 and employment is expected to grow, but you will have to attend a two year program at a vocational school, according to MSN.com. If you are really looking for more money in the health field, you can expect that being a registered nurse will bring it in. This profession can earn up to $71,700 and the numbers will be increasing considering employment will rise by 22.2 percent.
U.S. College search also mentions salespeople as another job to look for. With CNNMoney supporting this, it is hard to look away. “The retail trade has overall trended up since June 2011… employment opportunities are expected to be good,” said MSN. Retail salesperson can earn around $25,500 yearly and with the hopeful expectation in the market numbers can increase.
If you are looking for a job where you can put your multiple languages to use, try looking into customer service. Normally, it’s a positive thing to know more than one language and, in this case, it is. MSN is hopeful that this occupation will be growing faster than the average growth. The average salary is about $29,300. Becoming a biomedical engineer can definitely benefit you financial, with a salary of over $80,000.00 and one of the fastest-growing occupations it’s no wonder the employment increases are sky rocketing by 72 percent. If you are interested in biology, you should look into this field.
Looking for jobs and careers can be stressful, and even disappointing, but by having an outline of what jobs are in demand, you can narrow the hunt down. Some employers are hopeful that more position will be available. According to BLS.gov (Bureau of Labor Statistics), the next Employment Situation for January 2012 will be released sometime early February.
