Dear colleagues

the only systematic assessment of the IS job market in the US. 

 

The index assesses placement, jobs, satisfaction, career services,
knowledge, and search strategies of 1600+ recent graduates from more than 30
universities. 

 

The results are very encouraging for our field with excellent placement,
good salaries, job satisfaction, and across the board increases in knowledge
levels. It is a good time to be in information systems! Please see below.
