And it also lists the majors that make someone the least employable. |
According to Express Employment Professionals—which polled 115 of its franchise outlets across the U.S. on employer preferences—business is the top college major for prospective workers at 27 percent. |
That's the second year in a row that business led the survey. |
Business actually had a 1 point increase this year over last year as a top college major for employers. |
"It was much stronger than we expected," said Bob Funk, CEO of Express and a former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. |
"Business majors are the best bet when it comes to getting hired," he said. |
Other top majors were engineering (20 percent), accounting (14 percent), nursing (6 percent) and computer and information sciences (5 percent). |
"We were a little surprised that the IT sections were so low," Funk said. |
He said that may be due to businesses feeling there's a lack of IT-qualified candidates and no need to even try to hire them. Finance was also low, Funk said, because most of the businesses that gave their preferences are not on Wall Street. |
Funk added that he sees no shortage of overall employment opportunities. He said Express has around 20,000 job openings a week to fill. |

Deford Says Thanks For A Good Game, Drops Mic Frank Deford bids farewell to the Ringling Brothers Circus and has some further thoughts on taking a final bow. |
President Barack Obama laughs with Frank Deford as he awards him the 2012 National Humanities Medal for transforming how we think about sports, during a ceremony in the East Room of White House on July 10, 2013. |
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! |
I always wanted to use that in a commentary, that wonderful circus introduction ballyhooed by the splendid ringmaster, but I could just never find the ideal spot. |
Of course, had I, there would've been some people who'd say that a circus doesn't belong in with sports. But, hey, just because there's clowns around doesn't disqualify certain daredevils from being certified athletes -- equestrians, tightrope walkers and those who fly through the air with the greatest of ease. |
That's why I was so upset to learn that the grandest big top ever — Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey — was going out of business later this month. The Greatest Show on Earth — and it probably was exactly that once upon a time. |
Well, by coincidence, this particular tiny show on earth that consists entirely of me talking about sports on NPR is also folding its tent flaps this May of 2017. Yes, this is my swansong, my farewell, my last hurrah. Adieu, adios, arrivederci, auf wiedersehen. |
I've been delivering these little homilies since 1980 — that's 37 years — and altogether, NPR statisticians tell me, my bloviation total is 1,656 commentaries — and I trust you've hung onto every word. |
I have survived so long because I've been blessed with talented and gracious colleagues, and with a top brass who let me choose my topics every week and then allowed me to express opinions that were not always popular. Well, someone had to stand up to the yackety-yak soccer cult. |
And perhaps just as important, I've been blessed with you, with a broad and intelligent audience — even if large portions thereof haven't necessarily given a hoot about sports. Nothing has pleased me so much as when someone — usually a woman — writes me or tells me that she's appreciated sports more because NPR allowed... |
Thank you for listening. Thank you for abiding me. |
And now, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I bid you goodbye, and take my leave. |

He's still "fully committed" to Arkansas, but Blackman's Adonis Otey will be busy taking visits between now and national signing day. |
Blackman senior football standout Adonis Otey will be a busy person over the next three weeks. |
After opting not to sign during the December early period, Otey is hoping to take three visits between now and the traditional Feb. 6 National Signing Day. |
Otey still, however, said he is fully committed to Arkansas, a team he committed to on Aug. 1. |
"I still talk to (Arkansas)," said Otey, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound cornerback/athlete and three-star prospect, according to 247Sports. "They still come by and keep contact. I'm still committed to Arkansas." |
Otey announced prior to the December early signing period that he would wait to sign with the Razorbacks, citing the desire to take more visits. |
One of those visits is planned, as he is going to the University of Southern California on Feb. 1 for a visit. |
"Coach (Joe) DeForest (USC linebackers coach) has come by and talked to me about the future," said Otey, who added that the Trojans are interested in him playing cornerback. "He only came by to see me, then flew right back." |
He also plans to visit Mississippi State and Ole Miss before signing day as well. |
Otey committed to Tennessee last April before de-committing in July. Less than a month later he committed to the Razorbacks. |
Blackman teammate Trey Knox committed to Arkansas in October and signed with the Razorbacks in December. He enrolled early and is currently in his first semester at Arkansas. |
Otey also has offers from Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Louisville, Auburn, Cincinnati, Florida, Florida State, Houston, Indiana, LSU, Kentucky, Michigan, Memphis, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and South Carolina, among others. |
"(Coaches) have just been keeping contact with me constantly and dropping by," said Otey, on how his past month has gone since not signing in December. Among those in contact have been the Bulldogs, Rebels, Trojans, Virginia Tech and Vanderbilt. |
He actually played sparingly on defense his senior season at Blackman, because of his heavy involvement in the Blaze offense. He had five tackles and an interception. |
He did most of his damage with the ball in his hands, rushing for 667 yards and eight touchdowns, hauling in 13 receptions for 380 yards and five more TDs and adding both a passing TD and punt return for a score. |
Salvage crews have recovered half of the truck and trailer unit which crashed off State Highway 1 near Kaikoura on Wednesday but there is still no sign of the driver. |
The truck, carrying hazardous materials, crashed about 20 metres down a bank in the Hundalee Hills near the intersection of Claverley Road about 5.30am on Wednesday. |
Police believe his body may be in the wreckage but intensive searches, including the use of an infra-red camera, have found no sign of him. |
Rescue teams and salvage crews were back at the scene early Thursday morning. |
Officer in charge, Sergeant Graeme Crosson, said a crane had winched the trailer back up to the roadside and the remainder of the vehicle will hopefully be recovered Thursday afternoon. |
He said it was believed the man was lying deep in the wreckage or underneath the truck but he has not yet been found. |
Sergeant Crosson said given the damage to the truck and very low temperatures it was unlikely the driver was still alive. |
He said the man's family, who are based in Christchurch and Auckland, have been notified but have not been to the crash site. |
The financial markets yesterday registered their disappointment that the weekend meeting of the so-called Group of Five in London had yielded no commitment to cut interest rates. |
Prices for stocks and bonds were down from Friday. And with no sign that the five leading industrialized nations that make up the group were planning to push the dollar down much further, currencies and financial futures traded in narrow ranges, except for the British pound, which dropped sharply against other currenci... |
Market participants described the meeting of finance ministers and central bankers from the United States, Japan, West Germany, France and Britain as a ''non-event'' endorsing a status quo position on exchange rates and interest rates. Although it had been, in the words of one futures dealer, ''transparently improbable... |
Currencies and financial futures adjusted to the meeting's noncommittal outcome during trading in the Far East before European and American markets opened. The dollar and money market interest rates rose in Europe. |
''We've essentially dropped back to where we had been trading last Wednesday when all the speculation about action on interest rates began,'' said Larry Morgan, a vice president at Dean Witter Reynolds's financial futures trading post at the Chicago Board of Trade. |
Trading was thin in all of the American markets, reflecting observance of the national holiday marking the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. |
In the wake of the meeting, the majority view in most markets appeared to be that the dollar would consolidate its current position and perhaps strengthen by a few percent. The recent firming of American interest rates, the release of economic indicators showing that the economy is performing better than expected, and ... |
Background reports from the Group of Five meeting have indicated that the United States would be happy to see a further, gradual decline in the dollar. A dollar decline improves the United States trade balance by making American exports less expensive and foreign imports more costly. |
However, both Japanese and French authorities would like to see exchange rates stabilize at current levels for now. |
The markets here and abroad had been hoping for joint action to cut interest rates in the belief that lower rates would encourage economic growth in the industrialized world, reduce the cost of financing budget deficits, and ease the debt burden of developing countries. |
''There was a glimmer of hope beforehand that there might be some action on interest rates,'' said Stephen Lewis, chief economist at Phillips & Drew, a London brokerage. |
The lack of a consensus by the Group of Five on a push to lower rates was seen as a sign that the United States Federal Reserve Bank and the West German Bundesbank were convinced that domestic economic conditions supported the current rate structure. Given that stance, according to market participants, only a sharp ris... |
''The market had been hoping for near-term good news on interest rates from G-5,'' said A. Marshall Acuff Jr., head of portfolio strategy at Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Company. ''I think attention will now shift to the uncertainty about the future of Gramm-Rudman,'' he added, referring to the legislation passed by Co... |

World champion Max Whitlock has been withdrawn from Great Britain's artistic gymnastics European Championships squad because of a virus. |
After being ill over the past week, he has been replaced by Courtney Tulloch. |
Whitlock, 23, became the first British man to win World Championship gold, on the pommel horse, in 2015. |
He said on Twitter: "Really gutted to withdraw from the Europeans, I have to look at the bigger picture. Massive good luck to the team." |
A British Gymnastics statement said "it was felt better to give him time to fully recover with the Olympic Games in mind". |
Men's head national coach Eddie van Hoof added: "The withdrawal of Max is unfortunate and we will look at some tactical reshuffling of the team order, but it is testament to the depth of the programme that we can call upon Courtney to step up. |
"Courtney has great experience and was a rings finalist in the Nanning World Championship in 2014." |

WASHINGTON — One of the economic mysteries of the last few years has been the bigger-than-expected slowdown in health spending, a trend that promises to bolster wages and help close the wide federal deficit over the long term — but only if it persists. |
Major new studies from researchers at Harvard University, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and elsewhere have concurred that at least some of the slowdown is unrelated to the recession, and might persist as the economy recovers. David M. Cutler, the Harvard health economist and former Obama adviser, estimates that... |
Between 2009 and 2011, total health spending grew at the lowest annual pace in the last five decades, at just 3.9 percent a year, although rising out-of-pocket costs have hit millions of families. In contrast, between 2000 and 2007, those annual growth figures ranged between 6.2 and 9.7 percent, according to government... |
The studies — including some released Monday in the journal Health Affairs — shed new light on the precise mix of factors that have led to the flattening-out. |
Economists concur that the deep recession and sluggish recovery are the main reasons for slowing growth in spending. During the recession, millions of Americans lost their jobs, and thus their insurance coverage; millions more struggling families were reluctant to see a physician or undergo a procedure. But the slowdow... |
That led economists to surmise that other factors were at play. In new research, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that the recession accounted for about three-quarters of the lower spending trajectory, with the rest attributed to other factors not directly related to the economy. Professor Cutler of Harvard calcu... |
Among other factors, the studies found that rising out-of-pocket payments had played a major role in the decline. The proportion of workers with employer-sponsored health insurance enrolled in a plan that required a deductible climbed to about three-quarters in 2012 from about half in 2006, the Kaiser Family Foundation... |
