Employers Expect To Recruit 10% Graduates This Year
Job vacancies for graduates are predicted to rise 10.2% in 2014, according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR).
The association said that the rise reflects growing business and economic growth.
Chief Executive of the AGR, Stephen Isherwood, said: "There are some sectors looking at double digit growth for 2014."
The AGR's chief executive also said graduates still needed to "think carefully" about their job applications, and make sure they understand "what an employer is looking for".
According to the BBC, the National Union of Students (NUS) welcomed the numbers, but their president, Toni Pearce, said the improvement in job prospects for graduates did little to address the "endemic problem of youth unemployment".
