	We are often asked what the staff is reading or has grabbed our attention, as we develop our research or try to set our results in context. So if you are up to a good read (maybe not) you may want to peruse the list. Over time we will back track to add our favorites. You can also add your favorites by sending us recommendations for inclusion. We have rated the sources we add – just like the movies

	Interesting and varied topics are tracked in order to gain insight into our students and the world they will soon enter. Some topics pertain to features of the economy or labor market that will affect new college graduates, such as the slowdown in retirement of the baby boomers or the increase in outsourcing key jobs overseas; others cover generational or social phenomena that influence the behavior of college students and recent graduates, such as the formation of urban tribes, the creative class, or impact of depression. We will continue to update these topics as we obtain new information. We will also be adding topics as we pull information out of our files. If you have information you wish to add to any of these topics or you want to suggest a topic, please contact us.
