So unless you have been on Mars this past while, the economy stinks, and this has caused many companies to start to take a serious look at their financial stance as well as tie up loose ends. This in turn has directly led to a decrease in the quantity of jobs available for both intern and newly graduated students. Seeing how I am in one of these boats I find it not to be such an easy situation to be in.
What is also a little unsettling is that some companies have also started to jump on the "layoff bandwagon", and have seen this as a perfect time to layoff employees without having to face public scrutiny.
All things being said, it would be nice to find great job for the summer.
