Estimated Demand for Michigan's College and University Graduates of 1989.
Scheetz, L. Patrick; Gardner, Philip D.
Sixty-one placement and career planning professionals at Michigan's 2- and 4-year colleges and universities rated the job market for academic majors at their respective institutions. Their perceptions of the labor market were gained from a variety of sources, including campus interviewing, statistics on employer requests by major and degree level, job listings, discussions with employers, and responses to follow-ups of recent graduates. Directors of career development and placement services at each institution were sent a packet of material with surveys for each staff member. The survey contained a list of all academic programs specific to each institutions. They were asked to rate this year's expected labor market for each program they advised or were familiar with. Five tables present the results according to: summary of demand for major classification of instructional programs (CIP) groups by degree level; demand ratings for specific programs at the certificate/associate level according to CIP numbers; demand for specific programs at the bachelors level according to CIP numbers; demand ratings for specific programs at the masters level according to CIP numbers; and demand ratings for specific programs at the doctoral/professional level according to CIP numbers. Results indicate there should be a relatively stable job market this year and graduates should find good employment opportunities (though some from a few academic programs may be unhappy). (SM)
