Several new studies show that college graduates in the U.S. are increasingly looking for more than just good pay from their jobs. Experts say this may greatly change the relationships between employers and employees. In April, the employment website Indeed released a study on the job interests of recent college graduates between 2014 and 2018. Over the four-year period, the listings that gained the most interest changed from higher-paying business and finance jobs to arts and social services jobs. Nick Bunker suggests the reason is the strong economy the U.S. is currently experiencing. He is an economist with Indeed’s Hiring Lab. Bunker argues with high demand from employers and low unemployment, graduates are more likely to turn to career fields that might otherwise seem riskier to them. “People do have their own individual views of the world,” he said.” “And in a tighter labor market, recent graduates are going to have more of an ability to find jobs that fit with those views.”
