Hyatt Hotels & Resorts is ranked No. 51 on THE BLACK COLLEGIAN’s list of the Top 100 Employers of the Class of 2009

Top 100 Entry-Level Employers for 2009 Announced NEW ORLEANS, LA — February 4, 2009 — Despite the gloomy economic and employment news of the past several months, the job outlook for the Class of ’09 is not entirely bleak, according to employment research and hiring survey results to appear in THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine. For those holding college degrees, the impact of the economic downturn and recent layoffs will be partially alleviated by a continuing demand for entry-level candidates to replace retiring baby boomers, as detailed by Dr. Philip Gardner, director of the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University. Although some employers may have curtailed their on-campus recruiting activity or re-adjusted their entry-level hiring projections for the early part of this year, others are still planning to recruit, many through expanded online means. THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine conducts an annual survey to determine the most active recruiters of college seniors for entry-level jobs. Employers were asked the number of projected hires from on-campus recruiting, the number of campuses they recruit on, and the top majors they are recruiting. This survey results in the list of the Top 100 Employers is published in the magazine’s Second Semester Super Issue, and in an extended online feature and spring Virtual Career Fair at http://www.blackcollegian.com/.
