Job Offer(s): Strongest Market since 2000-2001

As second semester of college begins, seniors have more options for future jobs than in previous years. The Wall Street Journal's Career Journal reports that the "Class of '07 Gets Plenty Of Job Offers."

Employers plan to hire 17% more graduates from the class of 2007 than they got from the class of 2006, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. That would make this year the strongest job market since 2000-2001, the association says. More than half of the surveyed employers said they planned to increase hiring; only 5% planned a decrease. Salaries were forecast to rise 4.6%, according to another survey by the same group.

For many seniors this is a sign of encouragement. Is this sentiment shared across campuses?
