FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)May 13, 2008 – Hoboken, NJ – The tough economic times have devastated many industries crippling employment opportunities.  But, amidst this career malaise, professional and business related services are weathering the economic storm with projections of job growth, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In fact, from March to April of this year 39,000 jobs were added to the business and professional services industry.  Hoping to score one of those business jobs, people are turning to online business degree programs to balance that pursuit with their lives.  Finding the right online business degree program can be a challenge, but eLearners.com, a web resource offered by EducationDynamics, has nearly 1,000 online business degree programs from more than 100 accredited online colleges and online universities.

“Many people are now re-evaluating their life and trying to figure out the best way to get ahead,” said Terrence Thomas, Chief Marketing Officer for eLearners.com, the website leader in connecting prospective students with online education.  “Business degrees are such a versatile option because it can lead into so many careers from marketing and sales to accounting, finance and consultancy.”

At eLearners.com business degree programs are the most commonly searched programs with accounting the number one searched business term followed by management, human resources, finance and marketing.  This comes as no surprise if you consider that a 2005 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the number of jobs in management, business and financial occupations is predicted to grow by 2.2 million jobs between 2004 and 2014.  And, making the leap pays.  According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, business and economics/finance graduates actually saw a 6.2 percent and 3 percent increase in average pay respectively.

eLearners.com offers a comprehensive database of online degree programs, as well as information for students to determine if online learning is right for them, including the eLearners Advisor, an assessment that measures online learning compatibility with the prospective online learner.  And, with the current credit crunch, eLearners.com’s Student Loans and Financial Aid Center can help students find financial support, including the Debt-Free College Guide and a scholarship database containing more than $14 billion in financial aid.
