MBA Jobs in US – A 30% increase in hiring since the height of the financial crisis in 2009

What financial crisis?

Leading MBA employers plan to hire more MBA graduates this year, according to a new recruiter survey from the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC). 

In a further sign of a return to economic prosperity, 80% of business school recruiters plan to hire MBAs this year, according to GMAC. The new data shows a seven percent increase from 2013, and a 30% increase in hiring since the height of the financial crisis in 2009. That year just 50% of employers hired MBAs.

The surge is from all industries in all countries, according to Sangeet Chowfla, GMAC’s CEO and president, with “projected hiring rates the highest for all degree types since the Great Recession started in 2009”.

He added: “MBAs have always been valued by employers, but this survey shows that as the economy improves, employers see MBAs as a good investment into their future.”
