Estimated Demand for Michigan's College and University Graduates of 1988.
Scheetz, L. Patrick; Gardner, Philip D.
Ratings of the projected demand for Michigan's college graduates of 1988 are presented by degree level and field of study. The ratings by placement directors and career planning counselors at Michigan two- and four-year colleges were based on evaluation of current labor market conditions. Responses were received from 75 individuals representing 45 two-year public institutions, public four-year institutions, and private two- and four-year institutions. The rating scale ranged from 1 (many more graduates than available jobs) to 5 (many more job opportunities than graduates available). Ratings grouped by major program titles tended to cluster around 'good' and 'very good': jobs are available for this year's college graduates, but some graduates may be unhappy with their options; however, graduates should be able to find gainful employment. A detailed breakdown of demand for graduates by reported majors is included. (SW)
