The percentage of graduates seeking jobs in Web work has almost doubled since 1996, and it would be surprising if an upward trend did not continue into the foreseeable future. More than one in 10 of all bachelor’s degree recipients have chosen jobs in online publishing, which is more than the percentages choosing radio jobs and consumer magazine jobs, and comparable to the percentage choosing work with weekly papers. The median level for Web salaries has reflected this trend, standing at $28,000, which is well above all other communication job salary medians."
