一份2006年畢業生調查報告顯示：工程學專業的畢業生薪水仍位居各專業之首，財會專業和金融專業薪水增長較快。
根據全國大學生與僱主協會（NACE）公佈的季度調查顯示：今年大學多數專業的畢業生，起薪都有所增長。
NACE執行理事瑪裡琳·梅克絲在一份宣告中指出："總體來看，僱主給本屆大學畢業生的.平均薪水都有所提高，有的增幅甚至很明顯。"
最有"錢途"的是化學工程專業，畢業生平均年薪55900美元。其次是電子工程專業，年薪為52899美元。機械工程專業畢業生的平均年薪為50672美元，雖然比2004-2005學年下降了0.3％，但仍位居第三。
這項調查涉及了全美83所私立和公立院校。報告顯示：電腦科學專業畢業生的起薪是50046美元，可能比往年有所下降，但降幅不大。
在各專業薪水排行榜上，財會專業和經濟或金融專業的薪水增加幅度最大，分別位居第五名和第六名，其它專業依次是土木工程，管理和營銷。
排名最差的是文科專業，包括自然科學和社會科學，如歷史和英語，畢業生起薪為30828美元，但比去年增長6.1％。
NACE最新調查報告同時顯示，與2004-2005學年相比，僱主今年計劃招聘的大學畢業生人數增長了14.5%。
密歇根州立大學就業中心副主任特里·拉馬克說，截至目前，NACE的預測報告與他今年在校園內所看到的情況基本一致。
拉馬克說："招聘活動增加，參加人才招聘會的僱主當然也多起來了。"
In survey of the Class of 2006, engineers still get top salary offers, but accounting and finance majors are climbing quickly.
So far this academic year, college seniors in most majors are experiencing an increase in starting-salary offers, according to a quarterly survey published by the National Association of Colleges & Employers' (NACE).
"By and large , the average salary increases employers offered to new college graduates were respectable, and some were standouts," Marilyn Mackes, executive director of NACE said in a statement.
Topping the list of highest-paid majors were chemical engineers who fetched $55,900 on average, followed by electrical engineering degrees at $52,899. Despite taking a 0.3 percent dip compared to the 2004-2005 academic year, mechanical engineers took third place with an average salary of $50,672.
The survey, which polled 83 different private and public schools across the country, revealed that computer science graduates might not get as much as they did in previous years, as offers fell slightly to $50,046.
Accounting and economics or finance experienced the biggest growth, claiming the fifth and sixth spots, and rounding out the list, in order, were civil engineering, management and marketing.
Liberal arts majors, which included both natural and social science majors such as history and english, finished last with a starting salary of $30,828, but experienced an increase of 6.1 percent compared to last year.
NACE's newest survey, also noted that employers planned to hire 14.5 percent more college grads this year, compared to the 2004-2005 academic year.
Terri LaMarco, the associate director of the University of Michigan's career center, said that NACE's forecast matches up with what she is seeing on campus so far this year.
"Recruiting activity is up and job fair attendance (by employers) has certainly increased," said LaMarco.
