Alternatives Options in a Depressed Job Market: Consider the Government or
a Non-Profit

Are you wishing you had graduated a few years earlier when the economy was
on fire? Do you find yourself contemplating graduate school instead of
trying to find a job?
If you can answer yes to either of these questions, it shouldn't be a
surprise. The Pacific Northwest is experiencing one of the tightest job
markets in the country.

Don't despair, there is still hope. The economy is slowly recovering and
according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE),
"About a third of employers say they will hire more new graduates than
last year." Where are the new job openings? NACE's Job Outlook 2002
reveals, "government/nonprofit organizations project a 20.5 percent
increase in college hiring for the current academic year." So as you look
over the list of companies and organizations attending our Career Fair
(April 23rd and 24th), don't overlook the government agencies and
non-profit organizations.
