DIW Berlin hat über 500 Unternehmen und Geldhäuser untersucht – Vorstände und Aufsichtsräte weiterhin fest in Männerhand – Unternehmen mit Bundesbeteiligung von Vorbildrolle weit entfernt

EAST LANSING, Mich. — As Michigan State University’s Recruiting Trends report shows, college students are experiencing a mixed bag of outcomes when it comes to finding a job.

Mitchell, who graduates in December with a degree in journalism, has sent out about 15 resumes to communications employers in Michigan and Ohio hoping to stay close to his hometown of Blissfield in southeastern Michigan. He said he will continue the process until he gets a job he sees fit. (more…)
