From the Bureau
In March, 257
metropolitan areas recorded lower unemployment rates than
a year earlier, 65 areas had higher rates, and 9 areas had rates that were
unchanged. Ten areas posted unemployment rates below 3.0 percent,
with eight of these located in the South and two in the Midwest. Thirteen
metropolitan areas had jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent; 9 of these
were located in California and 3 were along the Mexican border in other
States. The national unemployment rate was 6.0 percent, not seasonally
adjusted, in March.

Grads
In a recent survey on what employers want most in hiring new college grads, entry-level job site CollegeGrad.com found that the top five criteria employers ranked as most important are:
#1–the student's
major, #2–interviewing skills, #3–internship/experience, #4–other miscellaneous
qualifications, and
#5–the GPA.
MonsterTRAK, in its annual graduation survey, finds that only 10 percent of graduates have secured a job, 16 percent will head to graduate school, and 57 percent plan to move back in with their parents. It seems that entry-level job opportunities are most abundant in Sales (27%), Administrative and Support Services (10%), Healthcare (7%), and Customer Service and Call Center (6%). The top States for entry-level job opportunities include California (15%), Florida (7%), Texas and New York (6%), and Illinois (5%).
