My daughter was hired full time with a National Company in 2010, as a fellow 2 months after graduation, In fact there she had another job offer. I also heard that there are more jobs now that the students enrolling has slacked off. How recent is this research?

Next year, it will drop another 40%. Watch. It's called "the internet + recession = quick death of written journalism as we know it." I got my degree in print journalism. I was one of those lucky ones who did get a job six to eight months after graduation. One year later, I got laid off. Now I'm heading to grad school. The sad thing is, journalism programs are as full as they have ever been. I want to urge all journalism students to look at a more diverse degree.

Students who had taken Journalism & Mass Communication, are facing problems. Job interview opportunities, job offers upon graduation, and full-time employment levels all declined. How long will this continue
