Seniors Will Find Jobs Available but Not Wide Choices

Two hundred thousand 1948 college graduates here and elsewhere will find ample employment to launch them on their careers this summer, but two government agencies warn that these former students may not easily find the work they are seeking.

Overcrowded working conditions is the Bureau of Labor Statistics summary of the law profession, and while chemists and chemical engineers may find good prospects now, increasing competition is forthcoming.

De Gustibus...

Some members of the all-time record number of graduates will have to be satisfied with work in other fields, according to the U. S. Office of Education, which emphasized, however, that teaching positions are ample in colleges, high school, and elementary schools.

Doctors, dentists, and laboratory technicians can also expect to find immediate employment. A Bureau survey entitled "Employment Outlook" notes that civil engineers will find good prospects for the next several years, but those starting training now may find an overcrowded field before they graduate.
