College Placement Council reports autumn surveys from 600+ employers show about a 12 percent rise in 1977 hiring over 1976. Private sector firms lead with roughly a 16 percent increase, while federal agencies up about 1 percent and state local agencies around 9 percent. The outlook credits renewed business confidence and cautions against fiscal missteps by the Carter administration. The U.S. corn crop is at a record, likely easing grocery prices. S.J.
