Born between 1977 and 1995, Generation Y is 79.8 million strong. In 2008, millions of these echo boomers, as they're also called, will be looking for work. Challenger predicts that competition for jobs for new graduates will be stiffer than in recent years. He notes, "Generation Y workers are flooding into the job market, but they might not be flooded with job offers." He says the class of 2008 shouldn't expect the same robust job market their counterparts enjoyed in previous years. "Since the summer of 2003, the market was very strong for graduates, but job creation has slowed in the second half of 2007. The economy is slowing down, and business owners may be more cautious about adding new staff."

I can tell you who "is" hiring .... Pharmacies. If you haven't declared a major, now is a good time to get whatever degree it takes to work in a pharmacy or become a pharmacist.... as other jobs get outsourced their are still large numbers of jobs for that skill available and open in this country right now.

Hopefully the job market will start opening up in 5-10 years as the baby boomers go off to the homes. Most of the jobs being outsourced are blue collar. If you go out and get a college education there are still a lot of opportunities. For example, there are more positions for accountants in the nation than there are accountants. Same with pharmacy work, and various management fields.
