For all the talk about job cuts on Wall Street and
diminished prospects for MBAs in finance, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact
that the vast majority of MBAs are still in demand. New research from the
Graduate Management Admission Council, which publishes the GMAT B-school
entrance exam, predicts something of a hiring boom next year, according to
Businessweek report.
GMAC surveyed 201 employers between Oct. 31 and Nov. 16
(mostly big U.S. companies) and found that 76 percent expect to hire MBA grads
in 2013, up from 69 percent this year, and that 23 percent expect to hire more
than they did in 2012. And it wasn’t just MBAs who were feeling the love from
employers. The percentage of employers planning to hire a broad swath of
specialized master’s degree graduates was up across the board. You can read the
full report here.
If there’s one place where the news was less than wonderful,
it was salaries……
