Letter to the Editor #2

Boston Sunday Globe
January 9, 2011

After reading the article, "After a grim year, employers are once again optimistic about hiring," written by Megan Woolhouse, all I can say is FINALLY! As a junior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst all I have been thinking about or talking about since freshman year has been jobs, jobs, jobs. One month it seems the job market is improving and than the market plummets. The yo-yo of the job market can cause stress on anyone, but as a college student who will be emerging into the workforce with no jobs available it can be especially difficult. Although, the article cautions that it will take years before the job market is back to where it was before the recession, at least it is improving. I am thankful that these article are being published and are giving reliable facts and figures. I realize that my expectations of getting my dream job straight after graduation are naive and unrealistic, however with articles like thisI am starting to feel hopeful again.
