		Journalism grads report job offers
		Mary Sue Kopecko Journalism and mass communication graduates are facing the best job market since 1988, according to the annual survey released by the James M. Cox Jr. Center for International Mass Communication Training and Research in the College of Journalism and Mass Communication. “The job market was quite good,” says Lee Becker, author of the report and director of the Cox Center. “In many ways, it was the best we’ve ever seen.” The survey monitors employment rates and salaries of U.S. journalism graduates. In 1997, 78.1 percent of bachelor’s degree recipients had at least one job offer upon graduation and the mean number of job offers was two. Both numbers are up from 1996 and are the highest levels going back to at least 1988. Among master’s degree recipients, 83.3 percent reported having at least one job offer, an increase of 7.5 percentage points over 1996. The level of full-time employment was higher than it ever has been for both bachelor’s and master’s degree recipients.
