minneapolis unemployment rates decline

“While the job market is increasingly more difficult to enter without a college degree, last month’s positive growth in industries such as leisure and hospitality and health care will provide many qualified graduates the chance to enter and advance in these fields,” National Director of Career Development for Rasmussen College Tamryn Hennessy said. “ We are heartened that the group seeing the strongest improvements in employment are college degree holders. People with an Associate’s degree sawn an improvement from 8.7% to 8.1% in unemployment and Bachelor’s degree holders rates dropped from 5.1% to 4.8%.”

Rasmussen College has a variety of Bachelor’s and Associate’s degree programs tailored to steadily growing industries, including courses in business management, nursing, medial lab assisting, and more. In addition, its dedicated team of career service professionals continually researches fields seeing the most growth to ensure students have access to degrees that reflect the ever-changing economy. Established industry professionals are tapped to lead programs in high demand or emerging industries, and career placement services are offered to maximize a graduate’s potential.

Rasmussen College students enrolled in its Business Management Associate’s Degree program will be well-poised for careers in the hospitality field, as the number of new hotel and restaurant venues increases. Likewise, students enrolled in the Rasmussen College School of Allied Health will be able to take advantage of the health care industry’s surge of careers in ambulatory services, hospitals, and nursing and residential care fields.
