New research has suggested that the outlook for graduate employment may not be as gloomy as many have predicted. Research by employment research organisation Income Data Services (IDS) has shown that there should be no dramatic downturn in recruitment for graduates, but that it expects a widening gap between industries. Statistics show that employers forecast an overall increase in graduate recruitment of 12.2 per cent in the coming year, with technical and engineering positions expected to grow by some 31.7 per cent. However, industry sectors which are directly linked to the credit crunch could offer fewer positions to graduates, with a 14.7 per cent drop expected for the financial services sector. Commenting on the findings, the report editor Steve Tatton said: "It is evident that the graduate labour market is holding up, but it is fragile at present and a bad turn in the economy could easily tip what currently seems to be a modest 'jobs boom' into a 'jobs bust'."
