The rickety economy is causing uncertainty among graduating seniors, especially finance majors.Seniors who graduate in December or May will enter the job market at a difficult time.Financial companies shed 150,000 jobs in 2007 and more than 100,000 so far this year, according to job-consulting firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas.There are more than 1,700 undergraduate students enrolled in the E.J. Ourso College of Business. More than 410 of those are finance majors, making it the second most popular business major at the University.But despite the thousands of financial job cuts, enrollment numbers remain stable.—-Contact Leslie Presnall at [email protected]
