More Jobs To Be Created For Graduates
Research Firm Income Data Services (IDS) has said more jobs are to be made available for graduates this year.
In a survey of employers, IDS said it looked like there would be an 8% increase in the number of graduate employment roles being advertised. Last year, the number of roles only increased by 0.1%.
The retail sector was the most optimistic, with expectations of graduate recruitment rising by 30%.
The study also found that starting salaries are likely to be frozen, with more than 70% of employers planning to freeze wages for graduates, over worries about the economy.
As a result, the IDS said median starting salaries are likely to stay at £25,500 for those taking jobs after university.
Those entering the legal profession can expect to start on £36,500, while those joining financial services can expect to earn £29,250.
