Abstract	Two-year college placement directors and career planning counselors in Michigan were requested to rate the occupational demand situation for 1986 graduates based on information obtained from graduate follow-up studies, employer requests, number of job listings, and discussions with recruiting employers. Responses were received from 25 of the 34 colleges contacted. Study findings included the following: (1) of the 174 two-year certificated programs that were rated, 47% were considered to have "good,""very good," or "excellent" job markets; (2) the highest demand for two-year certificated graduates was in secretarial services, retail management, health services, and industrial technology; (3) of the 332 associate degree programs evaluated, 58% received job market ratings of"good,""very good," or "excellent," and 23% received ratings of "fair" or "poor"; while the graduates from the remaining programs were expected to continue their education at a four-year college; (4) associate degree programs with "good" to "excellent" job markets were in the areas of business and management, business office administration, marketing and distribution, communications technologies, education, engineering, allied health, vocational home economics, protective services, mechanics and repairs, and precision production; and (5) comments from several placement directors indicated that local job markets were so poor that graduates were relocating to obtain employment. Job market ratings for individual programs and by region are provided. (AYC)
