Robert Morris University Illinois BSN Program Receives Additional Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education Accreditation; Nursing Jobs in Demand in Tight Job Market
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) July 19, 2017 -- A recent story on National Public Radio’s Marketplace took a quick look at some of the ramifications of having a low unemployment economy. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) June report indicated that with unemployment around 4.4%, the economy is considered to be near “full employment.” NPR referenced Dr. Andrew Champerlain, chief economist at Glassdoor Economic Research, who explained that certain occupations are experiencing difficulties in filling jobs with qualified candidates, and as a result are raising salaries to attract applicants. https://www.marketplace.org/2017/07/07/economy/here-are-hot-jobs-this-low-unemployment-economy
Robert Morris University Illinois has a history of providing education programs that are based upon career-focused and experiential curricula, meeting the changing demands of an evolving economy.
Jobs that the BLS considers to be in demand right now include registered nurse, software engineer, data scientists – these are careers that are in need of workers. Another “hot job” is recruiter. Companies are looking for individuals with Business/Human Resource degrees and experience to help them in their searches for appropriate applicants.
Robert Morris University Illinois recently announced that its Bachelor of Science in Nursing program received an additional accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, a national accreditation agency officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education.
