Job Market Remains Unchanged


The job market for journalism and mass communication graduates in the second half of 2007 and the first half of 2008 remained largely unchanged from a year earlier, according to the findings of the 2007 Annual Survey of Journalism & Mass Communication Graduates.

Nearly the same percentage of graduates in 2007 found full-time jobs within six to eight months of graduation as in the previous year, and salaries remained static, the survey showed.

Lee B. Becker and Tudor Vlad, who direct the Annual Survey of Journalism & Mass Communication, released the results August 7 at a session on the study's findings at the annual conference of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication in Chicago.
