Outlook for 2021 Campus Hiring Survey findings from ~3,000 employers

Due to the ongoing economic impact of COVID-19, the 50th annual report of campus recruiting trends will likely be one of the most relevant reports ever produced by MSU’s Collegiate Employment Research Institute.

This year’s presentation will combine quantitative data collected from employers in August and September with qualitative data provided by employer partners to provide participants with meaningful insight into the impact of the pandemic on the college labor market, including internships/co-ops. It will also include an historical trends analysis and summary of some of the other major events in the U.S. and globally that both impacted and shaped college hiring and career services. From the data and trends, we can begin to understand the extent to which the college labor market will experience challenges, and the industries, degrees, and majors that will be especially impacted in 2021 and beyond.

Key Messages:

  • Global Overview of economy and college hiring trends
  • National and regional summaries by sector
  • Expected changes to starting salries for entry level hires
  • A look back at historical events which impacted college hiring
