June Grads Face J

Tough Competition

For Jobs » 1

June coliege graduates won't wallow in as many job offers this year as they did last. A general lag in the employment market has taken some of the frenzy out o£ campus recruiting, according to * copyrighted story in the April issue qf Changing Times, the JCip- . linger Magazine." , |

Last spring competition was so hot that companies had to make abOut four offers for every technically trained student hired and nearly two offers before they could sew up a nontechnical man. This year competition will continue, says the magazine, but not at such a strong pace. " f

Last year the average starting salary for technically trained men was around $465 a month. This year it will go to $485. Aeronautical and electrical engineers and engineering physicists received the best pay last June. But .cutbacks in aircraft and electronics may bold demand down somewhat for these m^n this year.

Nontechnical graduates got about $400 a month last spring. That will be up to about $425 this year. Accountants, however,, will start at about $465 and insurance, banking and retailing may command above average pay too.
