Companies, Schools Want Graduates Increased Job Opportunities Noted by Placement Service “Never has the graduate had more opportunity for jobs than this year," according to Eugene W. Oils, director of the University Placement Service. Dils, who has worked in the field of student placement for 20 years, feels this is the best job year he has ever seen. Due to "good times,” technological advances, and increased competition and consumer demands, companies are expanding product lines and creating entirely new positions. The number of companies and schools interviewing at the Uni versity hus increased from five to eight per cent while the number of job openings has increased more than six per cent over last year. VOLUNTEER WORK One of the reasons for increased opportunity in the labor market may be attributed in part to the popularity of volunteer or semi volunteer work in the Peace Corps, VISTA, and the new Teacher Corps, Also, more students are going to graduate school, delaying full time employment; fewer men are entering the job market because of increased draft calls; and the war has given the economy a boost. At the same time, the education field is expanding with experi mental course lines, wider curriculum in lower grades, and a grow ing emphasis on special education, creating more teaching positions. Verlln H. Odell, counselor in the Placement Service, feels the education picture has not changed much from last year. He notes that, as last year, there are more teaching positions available than there are people to fill them. People trained to teach social studies only arc in an oversupply, but openings are available for social studies teachers w,lh another major field such as English. Teaching positions arc numerous at the junior college level and usually require a masters degree in the subject field. There is a great shortage of college teachers this year. Los Angeles State College alone is asking for 100 new faculty members. Shortages are in the fields of business administration, teaching training, mathematics, economics, physical sciences, political sci ence, and philosophy. There is an oversupply in the areas of art, music, and mens’ physical education. Dils notes that there are many openings that could be filled if the University’s new School of Social Service and Community Affairs, which begins instruction this coming fall, were now in operation. The openings are in government-subsidized community projects and local government operations. "Good times" are even more evidenced by business and technical employment opportunities, according to C. Dean Owens, Placement Service counselor. The 1968 graduate with a bachelors degree in a business or technical field may expect an average starting salary of about $50 more per month than last year’s graduate. In all technical fields, women are receiving the same salaries as men. LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS Liberal arts majors are being recruited for sales training and retail stores at about $525 a month. Women in this field earn about $100 less. One of the largest recruiters of liberal arts majors is the federal government. This area is especially good for women. There are 1,042 education students registered with the Univer sity’s Placement Service, an increase of 18 over last year. Four hundred fifteen are registered in the business-technical areas, bringing the total to 1,457 as of the second week in May. Dils feels part of the drop in registrants may be due to the number of men entering the service after graduation. He urges students to register before they leave so that the University will have a current file on them when they return and are ready to enter the job market.
