Though participation in the work force for young people remains near historic lows, many new graduates of Michigan universities feel optimistic about their job prospects. A sampling of students from Wayne State and Michigan State universities revealed many have jobs lined up, especially those in engineering and technical fields. Kirstin Barton, 23, graduated this month from Wayne State in marketing and found a job in her field. Barton, who took six years to earn her bachelor's degree, said she considers herself lucky because it appears the job market has improved compared with a couple of years ago when friends were struggling to find work after graduation. Silkya Puckett, 24, of Ypsilanti, who graduated from Wayne State with a bachelor's in psychology, is hopeful about the future. She'll take summer classes and volunteer before applying to graduate school.
