Job Outlook 

Over the next 10 years employment prospects are expected to grow about 14% over the 2006-16 period. Three out of ten college graduates have a marketing or advertising related degree, so there is a shortage of qualified job applicants. However, competition for vacancies is high and entry into the field is difficult.
