Job competition not noticed by UNL director By Kara Wells Staff Reporter Despite indications that the 1990 job market for college graduates is more competitive, an assistant direc tor of the UNL Career Planning and Placement Center said she hasn’t noticed the effect in Lincoln. “I haven’t seen it, though statisti cally it’s there,” Geri Cotter said. An annual study by researchers at Michigan Slate University reported that 1990 has. the most competitive job market for col lege graduates since the early 1980s. Despite this study, which appeared in the June 13 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education, Cotter said she hasn’t seen a decline in employers wanting to interview at the Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln. She said there actually has been an increase in new employers interviewing. Approximately 400 local and na tional firms interview on campus, she said. Last year, reports showed that in the 1990s, the business world was supposed to “open up” in the job market for graduates. Cotter said. But she said she feels those reports are misleading, and the impact should not be felt until the middle of the decade. Sandra Knight, assistant director at the Career Planning and Placement Center, said the reports Cotter re ferred to were issued by the College of Placement Council. The reports state that during the 1990s, there will be an increase in jobs and a decrease in graduates, creating a greater de mand for graduates, she said.
