Job hiring will increase 19 per cent in 2018 in the US, helping recent college graduates find employment, said a survey.

According to the Recruiting Trends survey conducted by Michigan State University, the information services industry will see the biggest increase in hiring in 2018, Xinhua reported.

The survey published by local media on Wednesday showed there will be a 15 per cent increase in hiring for bachelor's degree holders and a 40 per cent increase in hiring for associate's degree holders.

Those jobs aren't concentrated on a particular major. Instead, there were more employers saying they were seeking college graduates from any major.
