A study of 2010-2011 beginning offers

For the first time since 2008, a college class is beginning

the year with an average starting salary offer that is on

the rise.

The overall average salary offer to the Class of 2011 is

$50,034, up 3.5 percent from the overall average offer of

$48,351 reported last winter for the Class of 2010. The

last time there was a gain in starting salary over the

previ-ous year occurred when the Class of 2008 saw an average

starting salary offer that was 4 percent higher than that

made to the Class of 2007.

For the Class of 2011, this is just the latest sign of

improve-ment in the college job market. Employers responding to

NACE’s

Job Outlook 2011 Fall Preview

survey indicated

they planned to hire 13.5 percent more new college

graduates from the Class of 2011 than they did from the

Class of 2010.

In addition, nearly half of all employers responding to

the

Job Outlook 2011

survey revealed plans to increase

starting salaries to 2010-11 bachelor’s degree graduates;

just 29.2 percent of respondents reported plans to increase

starting salaries to 2009-10 graduates. And, while it is still

early in the current reporting year, the average planned

increase to starting salaries has remained consistent.

* Where more than 20 offers were reported

Job Outlook 2011

survey was 3.3 percent, similar to the

increase seen in this report.

While not all categories of majors posted increases to their

average salary offers, the increases seen in the

Winter

Salary Survey

report far outweigh the decreases. In fact,

it’s nearly a complete turnaround from last year. Sixty-seven

percent of disciplines posting a change this year are

show-ing an increase. Last year, the opposite was true as 63

percent of disciplines indicating a change to staring salary

offers were projecting them to be decreases.

Among the disciplines, business majors fared the best. Not

only did nearly half of all offers in this report fall in the

business category, but as a group, these graduates also

showed a solid increase to their average starting salary

offer. In last year’s

Winter 2010 Salary Survey

report, the

average salary offer for business graduates was down 1

percent to $47,187; this year’s average offer was almost 2

percent higher at $48,089.

Accounting majors saw one of the better increases to their

average salary offer, which rose 2.2 percent to $49,022.

In addition, two of the top three jobs for all bachelor’s

degree majors in this report were for private and public

accounting positions. (See Figure 1.) The demand for

graduates with accounting degrees may be reflected here,

as more than 6 in 10 employers

responding to NACE’s

Job Outlook

2011

survey have plans to hire these

particular grads.

While also in high demand, business

administration/management

gradu-ates saw a slight decrease to their

average starting salary offer, which

fell 2.3 percent to $44,171. This

decrease can be attributed, in part,

to the fact that the position most

commonly offered to these

gradu-ates was as a management trainee,

which averaged just $39,146, well

below their overall average.

SCOPE AND NATURE OF THE SURVEY

Employment Information Manager: Andrea Koncz Editorial: Kevin Gray Design: Karen Y. Berger

ABOUT THE SURVEY

Salary Survey compiles data from career planning and placement offices of colleges and universities across the United States. The reports consist of starting salary offers made to new graduates by employing organizations in business, industry, government, and by nonprofit and educational institutions. The figures reported are for base salaries only and do not include bonuses, fringe benefits, or overtime rates. Confidentiality is maintained for the individual, the college, and the employer.

The number of offers reported in each report is cumulative from the previous September. The offers reported in Salary Survey are a sample of actual job offers made to new college graduates during the recruiting year and do not imply all job offers made to all college graduates.

Salary Survey reports offers, not acceptances. It does not distinguish between single and multiple offers to individual students and, con-sequently, offers in the study cannot be equated with actual hires. Also, in as much as the ratio of offers to hires is partially a function of the economic climate, year-to-year ratio comparisons based on survey data would be invalid. In those categories where offers are relatively few, the data should be regarded only as indicative. Salary Survey is available only to members of the National Associa-tion of Colleges and Employers and to Salary Survey subscribers, and is intended for their professional use.

Salary Survey (ISSN 1520-8648) is published four times a year in February, April, July, and September by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 62 Highland Ave., Bethlehem, PA 18017-9085.

All 2011 issues of

Salary Survey

will report on salary offers extended to students graduating between September 1,

2010, and August 31, 2011. The

Winter 2011 Salary Survey

contains information received during the period of

September 1, 2010, through January 20, 2011.

In December 2010,

Salary Survey

participants received reporting packets that prepared them to report data for all

2011 issues of

Salary Survey

. Schools that participated in the Fall report submitted their data to NACE by January

20, 2011, and are listed on the last page of this report.

Schools were required to report the student’s major, degree level, salary offer, and graduation date. They had the

option of reporting the student’s gender, job location, employer type that extended the offer, and the job function. To

participate in

Salary Survey

, please contact Andrea Koncz at 800-544-5272, ext. 121 or akoncz@naceweb.org.

Employers may use

Salary Survey

as a guide for determining salaries for new college hires. It may also be used as

a tool for comparing current salaries to the national averages, or to the salaries that similar employers are offering.

Colleges may use

Salary Survey

to counsel students regarding salaries they may have been offered, or to benchmark

the salaries that their institution’s own students are receiving against national averages.

Salary Survey

offers averages as well as percentiles, so it is recommended that decisions are based upon as many

data points as possible. Also, it is recommended that all sections of the report be used.

Job location reports are also available for purchase by employers having multiple locations. For example, these

reports allow for comparing salaries in New York to those in Los Angeles. And for reports on salaries based only

on target schools, Key School reports may be purchased. Key School reports give the averages by discipline (in

aggregate) based upon a group of schools (minimum of six schools).

Number of Offers Reported

When referring to

Salary Survey,

it is important to consider

the number of offers that each average salary represents.

Averages with a low number of offers should be viewed

with caution.

Areas typically containing a low number of offers at the

bachelor’s degree level are communications, health sciences,

home economics, and humanities and social sciences (liberal

arts). The number of offers reported can be low for a variety of

reasons. In some instances, the number of degrees awarded

to a particular major is low, thereby making data scarce

for the group. In addition, because

Salary Survey

reports

up-to-the-minute salary offers (e.g. those being extended to

the current graduating class), those majors that typically

don’t find employment until after graduation may not be

represented in the report. Furthermore, other graduates,

such as teachers and healthcare workers, have more of a

direct path to a job, so they are less likely to be involved

in the campus recruiting program, and thereby less likely to

report their salary offers.
