Megan Rebers will have something equally important to go with her degree when she graduates next month from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
A job.
Rebers, 22, of Campbellsport, who launched her job search in earnest last fall and accepted an offer from Target Corp., is one of the fortunate grads this year. CareerBuilder’s annual college job forecast, which polled about 2,500 employers, learned only 43 percent of them plan to hire recent grads this year, down from 56 percent in 2008 and far lower than the 79 percent the year before.
