| Summary: | Based on interviews with placement officers at more than 24 colleges in New England and information sought from corporate placement officials and college seniors, the job outlook for many 1975 New England college graduates seemed favorable according to early spring indications. Campus recruiting, as measured by the number of firms scheduling campus visits, was fairly active in late 1974 but worsened as the economic downturn continued in 1975. In areas of occupation, demand for most engineers was relatively favorable, there was a strong demand for accounting majors, and some encouragement for general business graduates, but liberal arts and science graduates faced a less favorable outlook. There were favorable opportunities in the health field, while teaching jobs continued to be scarce; other fields offered mixed opportunities. Other fields/topics discussed in this report are agriculture, communication, computer sciences, conservation, library science, oceanography and ocean engineering, pharmacists, urban planning, criminal justice, associate degree graduates, effects of affirmative action plans, effects of the energy crisis on 1975 recruiting, and the search for a job.
