·         As they don their caps and gowns, college graduates this spring are finding more reason to celebrate: It's the best job market since the Great Recession.

·         New graduates are fielding more job opportunities than last year or even last fall, college career counselors said.

·         "Students are much more confident, much more optimistic about their opportunities for employment at graduation," said Sandra Jakubow, director of the career development center at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.

·         Nationally, employers say they plan to hire 8.6 percent more Class of 2014 graduates than they hired from the Class of 2013, according to a new survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

·         In South Florida, unemployment is the lowest in five years — 6.4 percent in the Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade metro area — and new jobs are being created across most industries.
