Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 7, 2009
-- In response to recent reports that job seekers are struggling to
find jobs, CollegeRecruiter.com compiled lists of the five best and
worst states for finding internships and entry level jobs.
The data was gathered through a state-by-state search on the site; the
lists will be updated every month to help students and entry level job
candidates know how many opportunities are available to them and in
which states. The results this month? Discouraging.
"We were very disappointed to see that almost every state, large and
small, recorded significant decreases in the number of internships and
were basically flat for entry-level job openings," said Steven
Rothberg, Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com job board. "The lower
internship numbers in May are a real setback given that April's numbers
were up substantially and the summer is now upon us. It appears that
many employers likely found the interns they needed or were confident
they would be able to do so without having to advertise their openings.
Fortunately for this year's graduates, however, it appears that the
entry-level market has stabilized."
The states with the largest number of internship and entry-level job listings on CollegeRecruiter.com in May are listed at CollegeRecruiter.com.
Sparsely populated states have the smallest number of internship and entry-level job listings. They are listed at CollegeRecruiter.com.
