Four Things the Class of 2015 Needs to Know to Get a Job

Good news for the class of 2015: Recruiters filling positions this spring are planning to hire 9.6 percent more college graduates this year than they did last year, a new report shows. To get those jobs, however, it takes being a certain type of graduate.

For a report published on Wednesday, the National Association of Colleges and Employers looked at which majors and college degrees will be in highest demand this year, based on a survey of 1,029 employers in 21 industries, including manufacturing, social services, finance, engineering, and consulting. Below: what their findings can tell you about the job search.

1) Shelled out for your MBA? You might have been better off with a bachelor’s

NACE’s data suggess that, over the next year, people with bachelor’s degrees—not those with MBAs or Ph.Ds—will be in highest demand among employers. Nearly 82 percent of employers said they want bachelor’s degree holders. Only 17.3 percent said they want people with master’s degrees, and just 10.6 percent said they want MBAs—less than the share that want people with associate degrees (13.9 percent). This shows there are more jobs for BAs, not necessarily better ones. And the pool of people competing for those bachelor’s degree-requiring jobs is also larger than, say, the number of people with Ph.Ds.
