Recently, I’ve written several entries about the tough job market for MBA students and alumni. Well, I’ve come across an article that makes it sound like the job market is starting to thaw a bit and people are finding jobs, particularly in financial services. I hope news like this keeps on coming over the next few months.

By the way, I’d like to send a congratulatory shout out to my friend Kwame who is one of the MBAs featured in the article. I first met him back in ATL right before he started applying to business school, so it’s good to see him get one of those banking jobs.

Intro text for the article:

With banks climbing out of the recession, more business students across the country are finding banking jobs and internships, enrolling in finance clubs and going on class trips to Wall Street, universities say.

Unemployment is plaguing millions of families, and the public may still be seething about bank bailouts and eight-figure bonuses. But business students and career advisers see a job market that is quickly stabilizing.
