USA, March 9, 2016 (UPI) — Roughly seven in 10 job seekers say salary and compensation packages play a significant role when looking for a new job, according to a Harris Poll survey conducted for Glassdoor.
It’s easy to understand why. With mounting college costs and related student loan debt, it’s estimated today’s students will need to continue working until they’re at least 75. Still, recent grads say their education was worth the high cost.
